Hand Crank Kitchen Mixer- Food Processor

"Little Dutch Maid Hand Crank Kitchen Machine"

Formerly sold as the “TROYCRAFT MIXER”

Even Heat the original manufacturer of the TROYCRAFT MIXER purchased the company and is now selling this very popular machine as the “Little Dutch Maid Hand Crank Kitchen Machine.” Even Heat has further improved upon the original design.

This is the ultimate multi-purpose food processor it uses no electricity. Originally designed by an Amish gentleman to stand up to the rigorous processing of large amounts of foods for large Amish families and gatherings, the Little Dutch Maid is built for commercial use.  Components are German made; the same type of parts used in high end commercial style machines.

The Little Dutch Maid is the perfect Off Grid- Hand Crank Kitchen Mixer- Food Processor- it uses no electricity, yet two speed crank system processes large amounts of mixes quickly, everything that you would do with an electric counter top mixer including dough for breads. Then you can add an optional slicer and shredder option to make this unit a full functioning kitchen off the grid appliance.  Two appliances in one!

Little Dutch Maid Hand Crank Kitchen Machine is a heavy-duty commercial grade, very 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 life styles, chuck wagon trail rides, emergency shelters, Dutch oven cook off competitions, or any place where electricity is not available, limited wattage, or unpredictable.

You will be amazed how smoothly and easily this machine cranks; it is very 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 stiff foods, or select 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 it out of the box and up on to the counter, you will quickly appreciate the value this machine brings to the kitchen.  It is by far heavier built than any high end domestic kitchen appliance built today.  It will 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.  

Cottage Craft Works has it priced far below the few who do carry this mixer online.  This makes The Little Dutch Maid a real bargain investment for possibly a lifetime and maybe even beyond to your next generation.  

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. Place it on the counter and you would think it was bolted down. The weight of the mixer and the thick rubber feet keep it in place. There is no electric motor to ever wear out, the heavy duty gears are made to hold up to hard and long use. No planned obsolescence here!

You would only expect to see this type of heavy constructed appliance to be made in the 50s, not in this lifetime with so many thin metals and plastics to wear out.  The fact is many of the mixers made in the 50s mechanically could still be used today, except the electrical brushes and armature have just worn out, or the wiring has become brittle and unsafe to use. Without an electric motor the base part of the Little Dutch Maid Mixer is just that heavy duty to keep on going.

The only part that may need to be replaced is the mixing bowl and attachments and even then the mixing bowl has removable replacement parts.  Some do purchase an extra mixing bowl for competitive competitions and cook offs so they can quickly change mixes without having to wash the bowls in between mixes during timed contest.

The Little Dutch Maid comes standard with a 4-qt heavy duty plastic bowl with a splash guard and cover. The bowl is made of flexible plastic that can bounce off the floor without cracking. The splash guard and cover is made of high impact plastic.

You will appreciate the ease of adding ingredients into the top of the mixing bowl. Because the unit drives from the bottom, there is no overhead motor assembly to work around when adding ingredients from a measuring a cup. The inner lid quickly removes to add the additional ingredients from the top while the splash guard can remain in place to keep liquids from splashing back out over the sides.

The unit also comes with two stainless steel attachments with twin beating whisks and a dough hook.  Optional cookie dough paddles as pictured can be purchased below, they will fit in place of the beating whisks.

The bowel and attachments are made by Bosh® one of the leading manufactures of high end mixers.  These attachments are imported the base is USA Made.

This is such a heavy duty quality built machine, it is doubtful you will need internal replacement parts, perhaps the mixing bowl and twin beaters at some point. However, if you do Cottage Craft Works can obtain any repair parts that you may need for the original TROYCRAFT or the Little Dutch Maid. As a factory direct dealer we can also arrange for factory service and complete refurbishing should your processor ever becomes damaged.

Add the optional food chopper and shredder to make this a versatile food processor.

Slicer Shredder fits the Hand Crank Mixer. Provides a 12 cup capacity high impact plastic bowl, just like used on a standard high end electric Bosh® food processor. The Slicer Shredder comes standard with three disks, for shredding/grating either coarse or fine, slicing think/thin, and French fry. Blades reverse to provide two cutting options for thick or thin slices.

Select option below, or select "None" if you do not wish to have the slicer shredder option added to the shopping cart. Additional cost for the slicer shredder is $145.

You may add an additional bowl and lid below or the bowl and lid with an extra dough hook and twin beating whisks (bowl with accessories).  If you just need a replacement bowl select the bowl only or bowl with accessories only, this selection will subtract off the cost of the mixer above.

Our Customer Response:

Hi Paul,
 

The Mixer arrived today in excellent condition. It is everything we hoped it would be and after two cakes and a batch of Pizza Dough we are very pleased with the performance.
 
Thanks again for the help you gave us and the time you took to make this happen, it is greatly appreciated.

Warmest regards from the UK.

Hello again Paul,
 
Just a quick update on the mixer.
 
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.
 
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.
