The machines still get taken apart and washed by hand, along with some maintenance, every 14 days. So every machine will additionally be off for an afternoon every two weeks.

So it's basically a perpetual stew ice cream for 14 days? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_stew

Basically, yeah. They get refilled multiple times a day, and it's continually stirred, but only completely emptied during maintenance.

Picture of the mentioned 46yr old (beef) strew mentioned in the article: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F...

I'm not sure what material it's on to keep it heated. But something like coal I assume.

I would imagine this is what any industrial ice cream production that's making pints for grocery store freezers would look like.

Are perpetual stews sanitary? I'm probably misjudging, but the idea of anything being out in the open for that long makes me uneasy. I guess it's kept at a simmer, so bacteria can't grow?
