 | | Virtually all stuffing recipes call for a combination of bread crumbs mixed with onions, celery, spices (often sage, sometimes thyme), plus water or broth, butter, salt, and pepper. |
 | | Most chefs advise that stuffing cooked in a pan should go into the oven covered, preferably by parchment or foil coated with a thick layer of butter; the foil or parchment are removed during the last few minutes of cooking to allow the stuffing to develop a delicate crust. |
 | | Adding oysters or fruit, for instance, can make a stuffing slightly wetter and mean you should use less liquid or more bread, or that you should cook the stuffing longer to let it “dry out.” If you’re stuffing a bird, making sure the stuffing isn’t too wet is important. |
