Please expect 1-2 weeks to ship from Ohio.
For those who want a simple off-grid hand crank mixer to make bread and mixes, the standard Little Dutch Maid model as priced will be all that you will need. This is the unit that is purchased the most. It comes with a heavy hand crank base, a plastic mixing bowl, a dough hook, a splash guard, a lid, and a metal driver with whisk attachments.
The Little Dutch Maid is the perfect off-grid hand-crank kitchen mixer. It uses no electricity yet, a two-speed hand crank system will process large amounts of mixes quickly. Everything you would normally do with an electric countertop mixer including dough for bread can easily be done with The Little Dutch Maid.
We take the unit one more step for customers who want to do more with it. We are the only company offering so many optional attachments to custom-fit individual needs. Add the optional slicer and shredder option to make this unit a full-functioning kitchen off-the-grid appliance. Two appliances in one!
The Little Dutch Maid is a heavy-duty commercial grade, easy-to-use hand crank mixer, for all your kitchen and cooking needs. The unit is perfect for summer camps, church camps, off-grid remote lifestyles, chuckwagon trail rides, emergency shelters, Dutch oven cook-off competitions, or any place where electricity is not available, limited wattage, or is unpredictable.
Electric mixers will tend to over-mix the dough. Those who have been using electric mixers soon discover they obtain better mixes using The Little Dutch Maid.
You will be amazed how smoothly and easily this machine cranks; it is easy to use, easy to clean up, and will process large batches of dough and mashed potatoes with little fatigue to the arms and hands. There is no need to speed up the cranking for creams and sauces. Just select between high speed or low speed to process dough and other foods like mashed potatoes or select the high speed for whipped creams and sauces.
Some have asked why does it cost so much. Being hand-cranked without a motor should make it cheap to make, right? Once you lift The Little Dutch Mixer out of the box you will quickly appreciate the value this machine brings to the kitchen. It is far heavier built than any high-end domestic kitchen appliance built today. It will likely outlast any electric model as well. Just tap on the top of the base and you will experience the same solid sound as tapping on a large commercial Hobart® mixer. Â
Cottage Craft Works has it priced well below the few who do carry this mixer online. This makes The Little Dutch Maid a solid investment for a lifetime and on to your next generation. We also provide the most optional equipment to go with it.Â
The base part of this machine is built like a tank; it has a thick heavy base that is powder-coated for many years of service. The weight of the mixer and the thick rubber feet keep it in place. There is no electric motor to wear out. The heavy-duty gears are made to hold up to hard and long use. No planned obsolescence here!
The base measures 12-1/4" L x 8-1/4" W x 5-1/2" T. without the hand crank handle.Â

Hello again Paul,
Â
Just a quick update on the mixer.
Â
We have been using it now for a while and have found it to be far superior to any electric mixer we have ever owned. As a result we have used it far more than we would an electric one.
Even the children enjoy baking if they can use the Little Dutch Maid.
Â
I just thought you would appreciate knowing that the effort you put into the transaction is appreciated, and we have been telling our friends and family about you and the mixer.

I am ordering the other attachments now as I can't imagine ever going back to my kitchen aid.
As for the mixer.....YEAH. I love it. Why didn't I invest in it sooner. And to think I was whisking things by hand for up to 15 minutes with piano whisk before when it now only takes maybe 5 minutes of easy turning of the handle. The mixer seems to be built well. It's base is heavy so you don't have to worry about it flipping off the table or moving on you. So far I have only used the whip but I can say it whips beautifully.
I know this is an expensive item but it is well worth the investment. The Little Dutch Maid and Cottage Craftworks both get 5 stars from me!
