Stuffing

cooking · food · flavor

Bread base. Stuffing is made mostly from bread cubes mixed with herbs and spices. When baked inside another food, the bread soaks up delicious flavors and keeps everything moist and tender.

Fills many foods. You can stuff chicken, turkey, fish, peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, and lots of other foods. The mixture goes right into the cavity or hollow space of whatever you are cooking.

Keeps things juicy. When you stuff a chicken or fish, the filling acts like a sponge that traps moisture inside. This stops the meat from drying out while it cooks in the oven.

Flavor absorption. The bread and herbs in stuffing don't just add taste, they also absorb flavors from the food they are inside. This makes the stuffing extra delicious by the time it is ready to eat.

Ancient technique. Stuffing food has been a cooking method for hundreds of years across many different cultures around the world.
