I am Jewish and very proud of it. But something has always bothered me, who is the person that decided 5000 years or so ago that we had to keep kosher and couldn’t have an In-N-Out Burger, or bacon, or lobster and crab, or a chicken quesadilla because were mixing milk with meat, obviously the guy didn’t know that in and out was going to be coming To a city near him But it just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me that I can’t have a cheeseburger without feeling guilty

In the halachos of kashrus we find that the mixing of milk and meat can either by done by the milk and meat mixing.
Or by their taste mixing The taste of food can transfer either when the food is at the heat of 45 Celsius (while some are machmir at 40 Celsius) or if the food is sharp and cut with a knife. if the food is not sharp or hot the taste which is in the food will not transfer over via the vessels which are being used unless the vessel being used is unclean as the hen there is actual food left there which is giving over the taste.
Therefore, theoretically speaking if you wash down the mixer after usage you can surely use it for dairy and thereafter for pareve with no concern at all.
For this reason there is no problem to use the same machine for both dairy and pareve yet if the machine is not totally clean you should wipe it down the machine after using for dairy before you use it for pareve if you want the pareve to certainly remain pareve.
