Hot Plate, magnetic stirring bar to avoid scorching. The problem is that a hot plate or a crock pot isn't made to be on for extended periods of time(weeks at a time). You end up burning the heating elements out.

Community for those interested in Perpetual Stew.
I made this community because I can't post to my own profile on Lemmy.
No slurs, racism, sexism, calls to violence... etc etc. I'll update this later.

The answer is crockpots. But I want to point out that you want it between 180-200F, so simmering as opposed to boiling.
:)
Crock pots
A quality crockpot will keep your stew hot and viable as long as there is liquid in it. Keep it in simmer/warm mode and stirring every so often . Cook the new stuff separately and add to the CP when it gets low.
Just going to add to this: with today's modern conveniences, have an instant read food thermometer around, and be sure to use it.
Temperature Danger Zone is between 40F and 140F
Due to mixing everything together, your minimum internal temperature should be at 165F.
For safety and CYA purposes, again, you want it between 180F and 200F. :)
