For Your Safety

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions

should always be followed including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Read all instructions before operating the Magic Bullet.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

• Do not immerse the cord, plug or base in water or other liquids.

• Do not pull, twist or mistreat the power cord.

• Avoid contact with moving parts.

• Keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blade while chopping

or blending food to reduce the risk of severe injury to person or damage to the blender/chopper. A scraper may be used, but only when the blender/food chopper is not running.

• Never keep the blade running for more than one minute at a time,

as it can cause permanent damage to the motor. If the motor stops working, unplug the Power Base and let it cool for a few hours before attempting to use it again. Your Magic Bullet has an internal thermal breaker that shuts off the unit when it overheats. Letting the thermal breaker cool down should allow the Power Base to reset.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or if the

appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact Customer Service for assistance in obtaining a replacement.

• Unplug the Magic Bullet when it is not in use, before putting on or

taking off parts, and before cleaning or assembling.

• Always use your Magic Bullet on a clean, at, hard, dry surface.

• Always completely assemble the blade and cup before placing on the

Power Base.

• The use of attachments or parts not recommended or sold by the

manufacturer may cause re, electric shock or injury and void any applicable warranty.

• Do not allow the cord to hang over the side of the counter or table.

• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces, including stove.

• Never leave the Magic Bullet unattended while it is in use.

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliances are used by or

near children.

• To reduce the risk of injury, never place the cutting blade on the

Power Base without putting cup or Party Mug properly in place.

• Be certain that blade is completely and rmly screwed on to the

cups, Party Mugs, or blender container before operating appliance.

• Do not use Magic Bullet in the rain or in wet conditions.

• Do not use outdoors if exposed to inclement weather elements.

• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

• Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

• Make sure the blade is completely dry before re-inserting the

gasket.

• Check gasket to make sure it is not damaged and it is completely

seated in the cross blade or at blade unit before each use.

BLENDER SAFEGUARDS

• Always operate blender with cover in place.

• When blending hot liquids, remove the clear center piece of the

two-piece blender cover.

• Be certain that the two-piece blender cover is rmly in place before

operating appliance.

• Never feed blender container food by hand; always use the plunger.

Important Microwave

Safeguards

Table of Contents

• Never microwave with the blade or solid lid still attached. Remove the

blade or solid lid and twist on a Shaker/ Steamer top.

• When microwaving, beware of steam and use an oven mitt to remove hot

cups or containers from the microwave.

• Do not use Party Mugs in the microwave.

• Do not use the Blender Container or lids in the microwave.

• Follow the precautions and recommendations found in your microwave

oven instruction manuals, specically the heating times.

• Do not use excessive amounts of time when heating water or liquids in the

microwave.

• Do not over cook food. Carefully attend to appliance when the Magic Bul-

let Cups are placed inside the microwave while cooking.

• Some products, such as whole eggs, may explode and should not be

heated using the Magic Bullet cups in the microwave.

• Superheated Water – Liquids such as water, coffee, tea or soups are

able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave is not always present. This could result in very hot liquids

suddenly boiling over when the container is disturbed or a spoon or other utensil (such as a Magic Bullet blade) is inserted into the liquid. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

– Do not overheat the liquid. – Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it to avoid

eruption.

– Do not microwave containers with a solid lid. Always use the Shaker/

Steamer lid or microwave with no lid.

– After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave for a short

time before removing container.

– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensils into the

container.

– Avoid heating baby food or formula in Magic Bullet cups, even with the

lid off.

– Don’t defrost frozen beverages in Magic Bullet cups (especially carbon-

ated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

– Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening the

Magic Bullet cups when they contain hot microwave foods and liquids.

– To prevent possible injury, always use protective oven gloves and direct

steam away from hands and face.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Magic Bullet, the personal,

versatile countertop magician that works like magic. As you’ve no doubt noticed, the Magic Bullet is not your ordinary kitchen appliance. In fact, it’s an entirely new concept in labor-saving devices. Unlike bulky blenders and unwieldy food processors that most of us only pull out of storage for specic recipes and special occasions, the Magic Bullet is so handy, so versatile and easy to use that you’ll put it to work EVERY single day (probably several times a day). Best of all, it saves you time because it does almost any job in the kitchen in 10 seconds or less!

Chopping, mixing and blending are all tedious, time-consuming kitchen tasks that can really take the joy out of cooking, especially for those who are pressed for time. But with the Magic Bullet you can chop, mix, blend, whip, grind and more — all in just seconds — for the fastest, tastiest meals ever. Imagine, everything from chopped onions and minced garlic to light and creamy cheesecake, all prepared in just 10 seconds or less! And that’s just the beginning. The Magic Bullet cups are microwave safe, which means you can actually cook in them. Afterward, simply pop on one of the stay-fresh resealable lids to keep leftovers fresh and avorful for days. Just think … no knives, cutting boards, or pots and pans to clean; no plastic wrap, foil or plastic storage containers to mess with. The Magic Bullet does it all. And because your Magic Bullet cups, Party Mugs, lids and blades go right in the dishwasher, cleanup is a breeze. So you save even more time!

Because the Magic Bullet is intended for everyday use, it has been designed to be compact so that it easily ts on any countertop, always right where you need it. And only the Magic Bullet comes with the ingenious accessories that turn it into the Bullet Blender, a full-size blender perfect for creating family-size batches of your favorite drinks.

We sincerely hope you enjoy using your Magic Bullet as much as we do. We’re condent that it will soon become your favorite kitchen helper … one that you will use every day!

Power Base

The Power Base is the heart of the Magic Bullet. Simply place one of the Bullet Cups or Party Mugs onto the High-Torque Power Base and press. Noth- ing could be easier.

Caution: Do not submerge the Power Base in water and always unplug the Power Base before cleaning it. Do not put the blade with the gasket in the dishwasher.

Cross Blade and Flat Blade

The Magic Bullet comes with two blades: a Cross Blade for chopping, grating and blending foods such as onions, cheeses, meats and frozen drinks, and a Flat Blade for whipping cream and grinding hard foods like coffee beans and spices. Both blades are dishwasher-safe. In the base of the blades, there is a plastic gasket that creates an airtight t with the Magic Bullet cups. After washing a blade, check to make sure the gasket is still inside as the heat from some dishwashers can cause them to become loose.

This may also occur when hand washing. The gasket may also be removed before washing. However, doing so will shorten the gasket life due to constant stretching to remove and wash.

When re-inserting or replacing the gasket, it is important to make sure that both the gasket and the blade housing are completely dry. Additionally, the gasket must be properly seated in the blade housing or it will come loose. This can result in leakage as well as the possibility that the blade can hook the gasket and cut it into pieces.

In order to insert & seat the gasket properly, we recommend as follows:

1) Make sure blade housing is completely dry - particularly in the gasket groove.

2) When looking at the gasket, one side has a slightly concave appearance, the other side is at- below is a diagram of a cross section of a gasket:

3) Insert the gasket with the at side down toward the groove.

4) Using the tip of a spoon or something similar, press into the concave side of the gasket into the gasket groove. Go all around the gasket to make sure that it is completely seated and tight and there are no places where the gasket is sticking up out of the groove.

Be sure to inspect the gasket after the rst use and each subsequent use to make sure it was installed and has not become loose or damaged.

Magic Bullet Assembly

Magic Bullet Blender and Lid

The full-size Blender attachment has all the power and

capacity of an expensive, conventional blender, but the

Magic Bullet’s version only takes up as much counter

space as a coffee mug. Use your Magic Bullet Blender anytime you need to whip up family-size

batches of milkshakes, pancakes batters, or to make

big batches of your favorite frozen cocktails at your next

Bullet Bash. The Blender Lid comes with a pop-top for slip-

ping in ingredients while the motor is running, mess-free.

Shaker/Steamer Tops

Your Magic Bullet comes with two handy Shaker/Steamer Tops that are used for steaming foods in the microwave, or as shaker tops. The Shaker/Steamer Top with the large holes is for coarse ingredients such as Parmesan cheese, the other is for nely ground spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg.

Stay-Fresh Re-sealable Lids

With the Magic Bullet — your personal, versatile, countertop magician — you can prep, cook and store your food in the very same vessel. No plastic wrap or storage containers are needed to keep your leftovers fresh. Your Magic Bullet comes with two Stay-fresh Re-sealable Lids that t right on to the Short and Tall Cups, and Party Mugs to keep your leftovers fresh for days.

*Only use the Shaker/Steamer Tops to heat food in the microwave.

Using Your Magic Bullet

Using the Magic Bullet

Using the Magic Bullet is as easy as 1, 2, 3 …

1. Load the ingredients into the Short Cup, Tall Cup, or Party Mug.

2. Twist on the Cross, or Flat Blade

until the blade and cup have a tight

seal.

3. Line up the tabs, place the bullet on the

Power Base and press down on the cup to turn it on.

Here’s how it works: As long as you’re holding it down, the

Magic Bullet is on. When you want the blades to stop, simply let go.

“Lock On” mode: For hands-free operation,

press down and gently turn the cup clockwise until the tabs lock under the lip of the Power Base. Once you are in Lock On mode, the motor runs continually. To turn it off, simply twist

the cup back counter-clockwise and release the cup.

Before using the blade, check the gasket to make sure it is not damaged and it is completely seated in the blade unit before each use.

Never put your hands or utensils near the moving blades and never use your hands or utensils to press the activator buttons down while the Power Base is plugged in.

14 15

www.HomelandHousewares.com

Using Your Magic Bullet

Magic Bullet Techniques

If the blade stops in Lock On mode, unplug the Magic Bullet immediately. Sometimes, especially when the motor is coming up

to speed, a hard ingredient, such as a carrot chunk, can get stuck

in the blade and stop it from turning. If the blade stops, UNPLUG THE MAGIC BULLET IMMEDIATELY. Take the blade/cup assembly off and give the ingredients a good shake to unblock the blade. If the blade still seems obstructed, twist off the blade and carefully (it’s sharp) spin the blade manually. Once the blade will spin, plug the Magic Bullet back in and try again — you should be good to go.

Never run the Magic Bullet for more than one minute at a time, as it can cause permanent damage to the motor. If the

motor stops working, unplug the Power Base and let it cool for a few hours before attempting to use it again. Your Magic Bullet has an internal thermal breaker that shuts the unit off when it overheats. Letting the thermal breaker cool down should allow it to reset.

Choosing the Right Blade

The Magic Bullet comes with two blades:

Cross Blade

The Magic Bullet Cross Blade is used for ... Chopping — Foods like onions, garlic and carrots, and for making dips

such as salsa, bean dip, or gazpacho. Blending — The Cross Blade pulverizes ice for smoothies, frozen cock- tails and milkshakes. Mixing — Batters for pancakes, mufns and quick breads are mixed in seconds. Grating — Foods like hard and soft cheeses and chocolate are grated in just seconds. Puréeing — Dishes such as hummus, all-natural soups, and baby food are creamy smooth in seconds. Shaving Ice and Frozen Fruits — For tasty treats such as snow cones or fruit sorbets. Grinding Meats —

Delicious chicken and ham salads or pâtés in seconds.

Flat Blade

The straight Flat Blade is used for…

Grinding and Chopping harder, single ingredient items such as:

coffee beans nuts cinnamon sticks dried fruit

Or Whipping foods such as:

homemade whipped cream cream cheese schmears butter

Magic Bullet Techniques

The “Pulse” Technique

Because the Magic Bullet’s motor is so powerful, if you

aren’t careful you can quickly overprocess food and

turn it into mush. That is why when you want to

make foods such as chunky salsa, or coarse chopped

onions, the Pulse technique is key. Pulsing takes a tiny bit of getting used to, but once you get a feel for it, you’ll be a Pro in no time!

To Pulse you simply press down on the cup very quickly and immediately release. For foods that you want coarsely chopped, a quick tap on the top of the

cup is all you need. Then let the blades come to a

complete stop and tap again until you get the consistency you desire.

16 17

www.HomelandHousewares.com

Magic Bullet Techniques

THE SECRET: The trick to successful Pulsing is to make sure that the machine doesn’t accidentally slip into Lock On mode. To avoid this, simply use your other hand to apply counter-clockwise pressure on the cup as you Pulse.

To start … hold the cup at the base and apply

counter-clockwise pressure to it to keep it from locking on.

Then … with your other hand, tap the top of the cup and

immediately release. Continue Pulsing until you get the consistency you want.

The “Shake” Technique

Sometimes, when you are working with thicker ingredients, like those in chicken salad (Page 67) or marinara sauce (Page 71), the density of the mixture can make it hard for the ingredients toward the top of the cup to make it down to the blade. If some of your ingredients are having a hard time making it down to the blade, simply use this Shake technique.

The “Cocktail” Shake: When making smoothies, dips or other recipes…

Remove the Cup/Blade assembly from the Power Base … pick it up and shake it like a

cocktail shaker. Then put it back on the Power Base.

Repeat … if necessary until you achieve the

consistency you want.

The “Shakin’ Pulse”: When you need to shake ingredients that you want coarsely chopped, like salsa or meat salads, you are going to want to use the Shakin’ Pulse technique.

First … Make sure the hand holding the cup is ap-

plying counter-clockwise pressure to keep it from locking on.

Then … Give the Bullet a strong downward shake

to throw the ingredients into the blade, and Pulse at the bottom of the shake.

Repeat … until you get the right consistency.

The “Tap” Technique

If you have a problem with sticky ingredients clinging to the side of the cup instead of being recirculated into the cutting zone …

First … Take the cup off the Power Base and Tap

the cup and blade assembly on the counter to force the ingredients down into the blades.

Then … Replace the cup and blade assembly to the

Power Base and nish processing.

Magic Bullet Basics

Chopping Onions and Garlic

With the Magic Bullet, chopping onions and mincing garlic is effortless. No more tears, no more stinky hands and no more knife and cutting board … you are literally seconds away from chopped, minced, even pureed onions and garlic.

First … prep the onions or garlic by removing any skin and making sure

the pieces will ﬁt into the Magic Bullet cup.

Next … Place the whole onions, onion pieces, or garlic into the Short

Cup and twist on the Cross Blade.

Then … Give it several very quick Pulses. Remember to apply a bit of

counter-clockwise pressure to the cup to keep it from locking on (see the Pulse technique on Page 17). With the other hand, give it a quick tap and release as soon as you hear the motor start. For coarser onion or garlic chunks, Pulse only a few times. For a minced consistency, Pulse ﬁve or six times. And for a smooth puree, just keep Pulsing, or Lock On (see Page 15) until you’ve achieved a smooth, thin consistency.

When chopping onions and garlic, you may ﬁnd the Tap

Technique (Page 19) helpful.

Smoothies

The Magic Bullet is perfect for creating delicious, satisfying, frosty smoothies and protein drinks. The best part is that you blend your ingredients and drink your smoothie out of the very same dishwasherfriendly cup … no mess! Plus, the power of the Magic Bullet pulverizes ice in a way few blenders ever will.

First … Add your favorite smoothie ingredients and ice into the Tall

Cup, or Party Mug, and twist on the Cross Blade. (See recipes on Page

86.)

Then … Place the cup onto the Power Base, push down on the cup and

twist clockwise until the tabs of the cup ﬁt under the lip of the Power Base and the motor is running consistently (Lock On mode).

Keep blending … until you achieve a smooth consistency. The

thickness of the drink will depend on the ingredients you use. You’ll usually be able to hear when it’s done. When all the ice is crushed, the grinding sound will stop and you’ll hear a nice even whirring sound.

If your smoothie is so thick that the ice or fruit is having a hard time reaching the blade, add more liquid and continue blending.

Experiment with different smoothie ingredients. Smoothies are all about throwing whatever fruits, juices, yogurts, or

whatever you have around the house, into a cup and giving it a whirl. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and then share your masterpieces with us by posting them on the Magic Bullet website www.BuyTheBullet.com.

Magic Bullet Basics

Frozen Drinks

When it’s frozen drink time your Magic Bullet is, hands down, the Ultimate Party Machine! Because the drinks are so quick and easy to make, everyone can have their favorite frozen cocktail. Plus, you can make the drinks right in the Party Mugs, then twist on your favorite-color Com- fort Lip Ring, so everyone knows whose drink is whose. Partying has never been easier — or more fun!

First … Add ice to the Party Mug (or Tall Cup). Next … add your favorite ingredients (see page 47 for some of our

favorites) and twist on the Cross Blade.

Then … Place the cup onto the Power Base, push down on the cup,

twist to Lock On mode and blend until smooth.

Be Responsible … Everyone at Homeland Housewares encourages

you to have a great time, but please do so responsibly. Do not drink and drive, and please be careful when you are consuming alcohol.

If your drink is so thick that the ice or fruit is having a hard time reaching the blade, add more liquid and continue blending.

Grinding Coffee

Magic Bullet Basics

First … Add coffee beans to the Short Cup and twist on the Flat

Blade.

Next … Place the cup onto the Power Base. Now … Pulse a few times, or Lock On, until the beans are ground to

the desired texture.

Remember … the ﬁner the grind, the stronger the coffee. If you want

a milder brew, stop Pulsing when the beans have the texture of coarse sand. If you’re going for an espresso-like jolt, keep grinding until the beans become a ﬁne powder.

Check out Page 81 for some of our favorite coffee recipes.

Mixing Batters and Breads

Finally, there’s a way to make baked goods without all the stirring, whisking and chopping! The Magic Bullet makes the preparation and cleanup of baked goods a piece of cake. Pancakes, mufﬁns, breads and more have never been faster — or ﬂufﬁer! What we like to do is start with instant batter mixes and then make them fancy by adding tasty ingredients like nuts, cinnamon or apple to the batter. Since it’s so quick, everyone can have the add-ins they like.

There is nothing better than a steaming cup of java made with freshly ground beans. Unfortunately, most bean-grinders are inconvenient and inevitably make a big mess on the countertop. Finally, with the Magic Bullet, grinding coffee is a breeze because you twist the blade off from the top, and the coffee is in the bottom of the cup. That means you don’t have to go through that whole ﬂipping-the-cup-overto-get-the-coffee-out ordeal that you do with the typical bean-grinders. Plus, because all the Magic Bullet parts are washable, you can wash away the ﬂavored coffee tastes. Never again will your French Roast taste like French Vanilla!

22 23

www.HomelandHousewares.com

First … Add the ingredients into the Magic Bullet Tall Cup, or Blender,

depending on the size of the batch.

Then … Blend the ingredients until smooth. When using add-ins … The power of the Magic Bullet will mince add-

ins into tiny little pieces — which is great for ﬂavor, but you may want bigger, chunkier pieces as well. For example, when making blueberry mufﬁns, we recommend that you add about half of the blueberries you intend to use in with the batter to be blended, then add the other half after the batter is blended. Just twist off the blade, add the whole berries, twist the blade back on and Shake cocktail shaker style a few times.

www.HomelandHousewares.com

Magic Bullet Basics

That way you get fantastic blueberry ﬂavor mixed right in with the batter, and delicious whole blueberries throughout the mufﬁns for wonderful texture. You can use this technique with nuts, raisins, chocolate chips, whatever you desire.

Chopping Fresh Herbs

Finally, an effortless way to get all of the zesty, pungent ﬂavor of fresh chopped herbs, without spending an hour at the cutting board. Now, in just seconds, you can make any meal taste like it was prepared by a gourmet chef.

First … Add several sprigs of your favorite herb to the Short Cup. Then … Twist on the Cross Blade and give it several quick Pulses.

Remember to apply a bit of counter-clockwise pressure to the cup to keep it from Locking On (see the Pulse technique on Page 17.)

Adding a pinch of fresh dill, parsley, chives, or basil over soups, mashed potatoes, salads — literally any dish you can think of — adds such zing to the ﬂavor of the dish and just enough “chichi-ness” to make your family and guests feel like you’ve

pulled out all the stops.

Grinding Spices

Now it’s easy to spice up your life ... just use your Magic Bullet. No preground spice can hold a candle to a freshly ground blend; you have no idea what you’ve been missing. In seconds you can have pancakes sprinkled with fresh cinnamon, or eggnog with a pinch of fresh, zesty nutmeg … the possibilities are endless, mouth-watering and effortless. And with the ingenious Shaker Tops, you can serve right to the table. Bon appetit!

First … Add your favorite fresh spice to the Short Cup. Next … Twist on the Flat Blade and grind until you’ve created a slightly

textured powder.

Then … Twist on the Shaker/Steamer Top with the two sets of small

holes and sprinkle to your heart’s content.

Seasoned Butters. With almost no effort you can look like a culinary school graduate ... by whipping up a few seasoned butters. Just add chives, garlic, honey, mustard seed, whatever you like, to

slightly softened butter and whip in your Short Cup with the Flat Blade. You’ll create a spread that will make everyday bread and butter a ﬁve-star experience. Add a pat to the top of cooked ﬁsh, chicken or into soups ... brilliance!

Grating Cheeses

Chopping cheese is a time-consuming process, and pre-shredded cheese can be expensive. Now, with your Magic Bullet, you can effortlessly cut up cheese in less time than it takes to ﬁnd your cheese grater. You can even twist a handy Shaker/Steamer Top onto the Magic Bullet cup and turn your Magic Bullet cup into a cheese shaker!

First … Add your favorite cheese to the Short Cup. Next … Twist on the Cross Blade and grind until you’ve created a coarsely

textured powder.

Then … Twist on the large-holed Shaker/Steamer Top.

Magic Bullet Basics

Grinding Meats

Until now, grinding meat required special equipment and a lot of effort. Now, with the Magic Bullet, you can grind meat for fresh sirloin burgers, meat sauces and party pat´es right in your Magic Bullet ... in just 10 seconds or less.

First … Add the meat to the Tall Cup and twist on the Cross Blade. Then … Pulse (Page 17) until you get the consistency you want. Since

meat is very dense, you may need to use the Tap technique (Page 19) to make sure every bit gets ground.

Deviled Ham. Check out the Deviled Ham recipe on Page 70 for a scrumptious ground meat recipe.

Whipping Cream

Light, ﬂuffy, delicious whipped cream used to require a bowl, a whisk and a heck of a lot of elbow grease. Now with the Magic Bullet, it’s never been easier, or faster, to create mountains of cloudlike whipped cream.

Cooking in the Magic Bullet Cups

Unlike conventional blenders or food processors, the Magic Bullet’s job isn’t done once the ingredients are blended. Once you’ve prepared your food, your Magic Bullet is then ready to cook it as well! Just remove the blade, twist on a Shaker/Steamer Top and place the cup in the mi- crowave. Seconds later, you’ll have steaming hot soups, rich and hearty pasta sauces or delicious melted cheeses, perfect for pouring over tortillas or vegetables, all without dirtying a dish, and with no pots and pans to clean!

First … Blend or Pulse your ingredients together. Then … Remove the blade, twist on a Shaker/Steamer Top (do not

put the blades in the microwave) and place the cup in the microwave.

Cook until ready, then … Remove with an oven mitt and serve.

The single most important rule to remember for using the cups in the microwave: Take off the blade! The blades have metal in them and we all know that metal and microwaves don’t mix.

Never microwave food using the airtight lids, always use the Shaker/Steamer Tops. Also, remember that the contents and the cup will be hot, so always use an oven mitt.

First … Add heavy cream to the Short Cup. Then ... Twist on the Flat Blade and whip until smooth. You’ll hear it

when it’s done; the sound of the motor will change to a hum.

See the Magic Bullet coffee drinks section on Page 81 for a number of tantalizing coffee recipes that use whipped cream, or take a look at the dessert section on Page 76.
