Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Courtyard Deli in Shrewsbury was struggling with the time it took to hand-dice cheese for their popular ploughman's lunch and deli platters. They needed a faster, more consistent method to keep up with demand during the busy lunch rush.
"We used to have one person spending nearly an hour every morning just dicing cheese. Now, the same job takes less than ten minutes. The cubes are perfect every single time, which has made our portion control much better. It's been a brilliant investment."
Robert Davies – Proprietor
The deli has successfully reduced its daily cheese preparation time by over 80%, allowing staff to focus on other tasks and serve customers more quickly.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Place the unit on a completely flat, stable work surface to prevent it from wobbling during use.
- Before first use, wash the frame and wires in warm, soapy water.
- Select your desired cube size and ensure the cutting frame is slotted securely into the base.
- For best results, allow cheese to warm slightly from fridge temperature before dicing.
Keeping It Going
- Always disassemble and hand-wash the components immediately after use to prevent cheese residue from hardening.
- Regularly check the wires for correct tension. Do not use if a wire is loose, bent or broken.
- Store the interchangeable cutting frames carefully on a flat surface to avoid damaging the wires.
- Wipe the main body with a food-safe sanitiser to maintain hygiene.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What types of cheese work best with this dicer?
A: It excels with semi-hard cheeses such as Cheddar, Edam, Gouda, and Mozzarella. We advise against using it for very hard, aged cheeses like Parmesan or very soft cheeses like Brie.
Q: How do you change between the 8mm, 16mm, and 24mm cutting sizes?
A: The machine comes with different cutting frames. You simply lift out one frame and slot in the other to change the cube size.
Q: Are the cutting wires difficult to replace?
A: Not at all. They are designed for simple replacement, ensuring you can maintain the dicer with minimal downtime. Replacement wire sets are available.
Q: Can this machine also slice cheese into sheets?
A: This model is a dedicated dicer, designed specifically to produce cubes. It does not function as a slicer.
Q: Is the unit heavy?
A: It weighs just over 6kg. This gives it the stability needed for effective dicing without being too heavy to move for cleaning.
Q: Is any part of the Boska BlockBuster cheese dicer dishwasher safe?
A: To ensure the longevity of the parts, especially the cutting wires, we strongly recommend hand-washing all components.
Q: Does this require electricity to operate?
A: No, the BlockBuster cheese cutter is a completely manual device, giving you the freedom to use it anywhere.
Q: How big a block of cheese can it handle?
A: It's designed to handle standard commercial blocks of cheese. You simply place the block on the base and push it through the cutting frame.
The Boska Advantage: A Legacy in Cheese Tools
When you choose a Boska product, you're not just buying a piece of equipment; you're investing in over a century of specialised expertise. Since 1896, Boska has dedicated itself to creating the world's best 'cheesewares', and that passion is evident in the thoughtful design of the BlockBuster. This isn't a generic catering gadget; it's a precision tool. The real-world value lies in its unwavering consistency. Every cube is uniform, meaning predictable portion control for costing, even melting on pizzas, and a highly professional look for your salads and platters. This reliability translates directly into reduced food waste and a better-quality final product. By focusing on durability and repairability—like the replaceable wires—Boska builds tools that withstand the pressures of a commercial kitchen, ensuring less downtime and a lower total cost of ownership compared to less specialised alternatives.
Explore more from BoskaWhy Replaceable Wires Are a Long-Term Win
One of the standout features of this professional cheese dicer is its replaceable cutting wires, and it’s more important than you might think. In any busy kitchen, equipment takes a beating. Over time, and after dicing hundreds of blocks of cheese, even the strongest wires can stretch or snap. On cheaper models, that would mean the entire machine is useless.
Think of it like having a high-quality pen where you can simply pop in a new ink refill. Instead of throwing the whole thing away, a small, inexpensive part gets you back to brand-new performance. That’s the thinking behind the Boska BlockBuster slicer. This design shows it’s built for longevity and heavy use, not to be a disposable gadget. It means less downtime, lower long-term costs, and the confidence that your investment is protected against simple wear and tear.
Who Should Buy This?
- Pizzerias: Ideal for quickly dicing mozzarella or cheddar for toppings, ensuring an even melt across every pizza.
- Delis & Salad Bars: Perfect for preparing cheese for salads, sandwiches, and ready-to-go tasting platters with zero fuss.
- Event Caterers: A portable, non-electric tool that's brilliant for prepping cheese on-site for buffets and canapés.
- Farm Shops & Cheesemongers: Create consistent, professional-looking sample cubes for customers and pre-packaged deli items in moments.
