Using Your Magic Bullet
Using Your Magic Bullet
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.

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 consis-
tency you desire.
