Magic Bullet Techniques
The ``Pulse" Techniqile
Because the Magic Bullet's motor is so power-
ful, if you aren't careful you can quickly over-
process 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 Pw/se 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
16
stop and tap again until you get the consistency you desire.

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.
Tlie ttshake" Technil|ue
Sometimes, when you are working with thicker ingredients, like
those in chicken salad (Page 63) or marinara sauce (Page 67), 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" Sliake: When making smoothies,
dips or other recipes„ . .
Remove the Cup/Blade assembly from the
iiHHRE
Power Base... pick it up and shake it like
cocktail shaker. Then put it back on the
Power Base.
Repeat ... if necessary until you achieve the
consistency you want.
CAUTIOIN: the Poner Base motor must be off and not running when
using the Shake technique.
