I personally own and regularly use a Back to Basics Grain Mill, also known as a Victorio Hand Grain Mill. We purchased this grain mill at a Monday night auction. This kind of auction is where anything can and will show up for sale, used automobile parts to antique furniture. It looked quite unassuming on the table, there in its box. My wife, who adores to make tons of fresh bread during the cool months, gives me a prompt to make a bid. One dollar was the opening and we cinched the deal at five. What a deal we got ourselves. The next thing I know we are on our way to see my Mother the next weekend in Kansas. We go thru a small Amish town called Yoder. We stopped and purchased 25 pounds of hard red wheat. We could not restrain ourselves and also purchased 20 pounds of rye. Well, we were in the flour making business, so to speak. We got home and the first night we could we ground some wheat into flour.
The same night we prefabricated some bread.
The Victorio mill is a straight forward, simple working, grain grinding machine. It is a tiny work horse. All a mortal needs is a place to clamp this manual grain mill to and crank away. This is also good training for arm wrestling, or pulling weeds in the garden. This is a mill prefabricated of machined aluminum. I believe there are six pieces to the complete machine. The grinding process is accomplished by slicing burrs. The consistencies for flour are determined by loosening or tightening a screw that attaches to the crank. There are a few plastic pieces to the mill. However, I believe they work just fine.
I do believe the Back to basics or Victorio hand grain mill would be a welcome addition to anyone understanding the benefits of fresh home milled flour. Yes, it does take some effort to use and it does take a tiny time to get your desired end result, but it is worth it. Tasting fresh hot bread out of the oven prefabricated with fresh flour is indescribable. If your flour needs are for a small family then this would work well.
If you are baking numerous loaves of bread and pastry for a massive family then an electric model is in order. Purchase lots of butter.
