I use native labour. The main difficulty is cleaning the grease from the big black pots after we finish boiling down the missionaries.

Getting the grease off the boiled pots? didn't you have a High Frequency Ultrasonic Wave cleaner handy? I thought they would be just laying around in the fields...

Aren't those cleaners like pots you put objects in? Or is it a hand one? How could he put pots inside that, a pot would be too big?
I just ordered a roaster oven that lets you set the temperature fairly low for heating.
Currently mixing with immersion blender, food processor, and food mixer but they over-aerate.
Probably gonna rig a standard attachment someone linked on mixer direct to a drill or make a box to control a used motor myself if I can't find something more fit to purpose used. (I'm an engineer so "rig a motor with a control system" seems reasonable but may be a bad idea). My time might be better spent learning marketing...
My lab is under $500: Soup warmers: 2 ($120) Overhead electric with timer and speed stirrer: 2 ($200) pH meter: 1 ($45) T meter: 2 ($40) Funnels: 2 ($5) Digital scale ( accurate 0.01) 1: $50
Honey Industry equipment, but can be used just the same in cosmetics. Jacketed tanks give even temps, not direct hot spots etc. They do take a while to cool if you need to cool the entire tank. Or you can dispense into smaller single walled tanks for cooling. They are in the USA.

How do you monitor temperature and heat the pots?

Does the water jacketed tanks allow you to regulate temp exactly to your needs?
Can you regulate tempt specifically using the jacketed tanks?

You once spoke about your Chinese homogenizer being rubbish and chucked it away..
Did it just stop working? Or was it not doing its job?
