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. Nothing could be easier. Caution: Do not submerge the Power Base in water and always unplug the Power Base before cleaning it. 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 fit 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.

Magic Bullet Juice Extractor Kit These two pieces, the Extractor and Plunger, transform your Magic Bullet into the Magic Bullet Juicer that does the same job as those large expensive juicers but unlike the big extractors, the Magic Bullet Juicer cleans up in seconds! Each piece is dishwasher-safe!
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 finely ground spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg.

Heres how it works: As long as youre 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. Never put your hands or utensils near the m oving blades and never use your hands or utensils to press the activator buttons down while the Power Base is plugged in. 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

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 finish processing.

Grinding Coffee
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 dont have to go through that whole flipping-the-cup-over-to-get-the-coffee-out ordeal that you do with

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 pate s 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 68 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, its never been easier, or faster, to create mountains of cloudlike whipped cream. First Add heavy cream to the Short Cup. Then ... Twist on the Flat Blade and whip until smooth. Youll hear it when its done; the sound of the motor will change to a hum. See the Magic Bullet coffee drinks section on Page 79 for a number of tantalizing coffee recipes that use whipped cream, or take a look at the dessert section on Page 74.

Fresh Pineapple Juice
Refreshing, tangy 100% natural pineapple juice life doesnt get much better! 1/3 of a fresh pineapple (the rind is ok) Before you get started Assemble the Juicer (Page 31) and make sure your ingredients are within arms reach and sized to fit into the pop-top of the Blender Lid. Then Put the Magic Bullet into Lock On mode. And Add the pineapple into the Extractor and push down with the plunger. Then Pour the juice into a glass (keep the lid of the blender on while pouring). 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. If the blade stops, UNPLUG THE MAGIC BULLET IMMEDIATELY. Give the Bullet a shake to jostle the ingredients, then start again. If it doesnt start to blend, unplug, take the blade/cup off and give the ingredients a good shake to unclog the blade. If the blade still seems obstructed, twist off the blade and carefully (its 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, it can cause permanent damage to the motor. If you do overheat the motor and it stops, unplug the Power Base and let it rest for a few hours before attempting to use it again.
