Has anyone tried using a slowcooker for perpetual stew? Is it safe to do so? If its safe, which i dont know why it wouldn't be, could i just keep adding things to it to extend the "life" of it?

To be clear, i dont see why it wouldn’t be safe, but im just wanting a second opinion to tell me that it will be.

i haven’t tried it but theoretically if it forever stays at a food safe temp and never has an opportunity to cool down then yeah, i don’t see why this wouldn’t work
let us know how your perpetual stew goes!

If you’re still alive after, report back so we can try it too.

I’ve had mine cooking away for the last couple of months.
Just keep adding stuff to it, and make sure you keep it stirred and topped up with water.

There was a post a while back about a person that did this, they said it eventually became nauseating. The same smell ALL the time.

Zaq.makes on instagram has a stew and it’s beefing gong for over 120 days in a slow cooker. Really cool channel to check out. Maybe get some insight there?

I haven’t tried a perpetual stew, but I have had beef stew in mine for 5 days a few times. Keep warm option. Older crock pot, still stays just below boiling. Have yet to get sick from it.
I need to make more.

I feel like eventually the heating element on the slow cooker will malfunction or break. Interesting experiment though into the lifespan of one under constant use.

There’s a guy on Instagram who is up to date 100 or so.

Gonna get some side eyes from this but I’ve kept a stew on warm for around 4 days (my pot keeps it at a safe temp) but my god I was so sick of eating it I just threw the rest of it out. I was physically fine though, it’s super convenient and it held up well.

I have considered it due to the power prices actually. For the last years, I have spent the winters in the smallest room in the house, and that has a open door to the kitchen and bathroom. Turning on the heat has not been something I could justify regularly, other than for cooking.
Keeping a 10 liter pot simmering at 70-80 Celsius would keep the rooms warm, and myself fed. The only reason I have not done it so far is paranoia towards fire. Keeping something on for a long, long time worries me a bit.

Some time ago a person made a comment on a similar post about how they did this. They said aside from the fact that they got tired of eating it they said the smell permeated everything in the house. The walls smelled like it weeks after they finally threw it away. He said it affected other food he would eat. There’s something about smelling a stew while trying to eat spaghetti that makes it off putting
