Off Grid- Hand Crank Mixer - Food Processor

The Little Dutch Maid Hand-Crank Mixer is a powerful, off-grid, countertop universal mixer built for those who need uncompromising performance without relying on electricity. Designed by an Amish craftsman for processing large quantities of food, this mixer is engineered to commercial standards. It uses high-quality, German-made components—the same caliber used in high-end professional machines.

This mixer uses older Bosch® Universal bowls and attachments; it may not fit newer models, but it offers exceptional versatility in the kitchen. Its two-speed hand-crank system is ideal for both heavy bread doughs and lighter mixes, delivering smoother, slower speeds than electric mixers—an advantage often praised by bakers who want perfectly developed dough without overmixing.

What’s Included

The standard Little Dutch Maid model—our most popular unit—comes ready for everyday baking and mixing needs. Each unit includes:

• Heavy-duty hand-crank base

• Plastic mixing bowl

• Dough hook

• Splash guard

• Lid

• Metal driver with whisk attachments

For extra parts or additional accessories, more options are available separately.

Powerful Off-Grid Performance

This mixer delivers the same capabilities as a premium electric countertop mixer but without a motor. Use it for kneading bread dough, whipping cream, making mashed potatoes, preparing sauces, and more. The smooth mechanical action reduces arm fatigue, and the low/high speed settings help you process foods efficiently.

Optional Attachments for a Full Off-Grid Kitchen

We are the only company offering an extensive range of custom-fit attachments. Add the optional slicer and shredder to turn this mixer into a complete off-grid food-processing system—giving you two appliances in one.

Built Like a Commercial Machine

Electric mixers often wear out due to the motor, belt, and electronic components. The Little Dutch Maid has none of these failure points. Instead, it features:

• Thick, powder-coated, heavy-duty base

• Commercial-grade gears

• Durable, German-made components

• Thick rubber feet to keep it stable during use

• No plastic parts that easily break

• No motor that can burn out

Its construction is comparable to vintage mixers from the 1950s—solid, overbuilt, and made to last a lifetime.

Perfect for Off-Grid and High-Volume Use

Whether you're off the grid or want a dependable mixer that won’t fail, this unit excels in demanding environments, including:

• Homesteads & farms

• Summer camps & church camps

• Emergency shelters

• Chuckwagon and trail-ride cooking

• Dutch oven competitions

• Remote cabins

• Low-wattage or unreliable electrical setups

A Lifetime Kitchen Investment

Lift the unit out of the box and you’ll immediately understand its value—this mixer is significantly heavier and more robust than modern high-end home appliances. Many customers report that it outlasts their electric models and processes dough with better texture and consistency.

Cottage Craft Works offers this mixer at a competitive price and provides the widest selection of optional attachments available.
