TIL About Perpetual Stew
(en.wikipedia.org)
What does the FDA say about this?
If it's kept at a steady temperature above 140F it should be fine.
Some guy falls asleep overnight and suddenly the whole inn is dead from botulism
Restaurants already do plenty of things which require cooking overnight, though.
Yeah but if the fire goes out or gets too low then it'll drop into the danger zone
Ah, but what about a perpetual 1 day blinding stew?
I don't understand this reference.
where it was often necessary to render unruly guests blind.
(emphasis mine)
Blind?!

(it's an edit)
Only should be really careful about lentils, peas, anything that sticks to the bottom.
Cabbage is good. Beef is good. Potatoes are good. Carrots - make it go bad a bit faster when not on fire. Same with peas. And of course with onions it'll go bad very fast.
Carrots - make it go bad a bit faster when not on fire.
Don't really know why carrots would make it go bad faster, but the point of a perpetual stew is to never stop cooking it. The fire is always on.
It's the sugars in those vegetables. It turns the pot into a bacterial growth medium. Given enough time, something is going to survive that environment. Maybe it'll be probiotic, but most likely, it won't.
Sugar in them, I think.
I followed you until the end. I know near nothing about onions other than their taste and a few cooking techniques. Is there something in them that cause other items around them to go bad quickly?
I don't know, it's just experience. Especially onions.
At what point does a soup become a stew?
Incidentally, would a bowl of cereal be considered soup?
Yes, but only for the mere moments before it becomes porridge.
And when does cereal become a stew
When it's Frosted Mini Wheats.
And when does a stew become a pottage?
I'd say you can drink a soup but you can't easily drink a stew.
To be more specific: you can drink the liquid part of the soup. You get soup with big chunks of meat and veg in it which doesn’t make it a stew even though you wouldn’t be able to drink it.
If it's chunky as hella, you got stew there fella.
I think the pedantry was unnecessary. Nobody thinks you’re drinking a chunk of potato or carrot.
asap disagrees and commented that chunky soup is a stew.
The Soup of Theseus
no, this is my mother's soup
Sisyphus hoped there was one waiting down the slope
🎶 this is the soup that never ends
It just goes on and on my friends ….

Best way to avoid cleaning the pot!
Just don't scrape the pot too hard when stirring it.
Look my iron deficiency isn't going to fix itself...
