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 specific recipes and s|]ecial 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 ally job in the kitchen in 10 seconds or
less!
Peeling, 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. Bilt with the Magic Bullet you can peel,
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. Tlie Magic Bullet cups
are microwave safe, which means you can actilally Cook in them.
Afterward, simply pop on one of the stay-fresh resealable lids to keep
leftovers fresh and flavorful for days. Just think . . . no knives, cutting
boards, or pots and pans to clean; no plastic wrap, foil or plastic stor-
age 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 and
because the Magic Bullet is intended for everyday use, it has been
designed to be compact so that it easily fits on any countertop, always
right where you need it!
We sincerely hope you enjoy using your Magic Bullet as much as we
do. We're confident that it will soon become your favorite kitchen
helper . . . one that you will use every day!

Using the Magic Bullet
Using the Magic Bullet is as easy as 1, 2, 3 . . .
1. Load the ingredients into the SHorf Gwp, Ta//
Oul,, Or Party M,,g.
';i
Tvv.isl on the Gross, or Flat BIalle
until the blade and cup have a tight
seal.
3. Line up the tabs, place the bullet on the
PoMrer 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 90.
``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 Om mode, the motor
runs continually. To turn it off, simply twist the cup back
counter-clockwise and release the cup.
ca®»
14
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 Poner Base is
plugged in.
ca®
If tl\e blade stops in Lock On mode, unplug the Magic
Bu//ef i-mmGdi-ate/y. 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
www.HomelandHousewares.com
lM-018
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 tl\e Nlagic Bullet for more tl\an one minute at a
li.me, as it can cause permanent damage to the motor. If the
motor stops working, unplug the Pomer 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:

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.
www.HomelandHousewares.com
lM-018
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.
www.HomelandHousewares.com
lM-018
17

The ``Shakin' Pulse'': When you need to sliake ingredi-
ents that you want coarsely chopped, like salsa or meat
salads, you are going to want to use the Shakim' Pulse
technique.
:n;:pS:y:.n';¥oauknetesrT::otchkewi::dprhe°s'g#:ek:#,'tsfrom|ock+
.-.-..--.
Then ... Give the Bullet a strong downward shake to throw the
ingredients into the blade, and Pillse at the bottom of the
shake'
Repeat ... until you get the right consistency.
The ``Ta|)" Techniliue
lf 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 ... Pleplace the cup and blade assembly to the Power Base
and finish processing.

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 secoiids 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 +IN.isl on the Cross Blade.
Then ... Give it several very qilick PIIlses. Plemember to apply a bit
of counter-clockwise pressure to tlie cup to keep it from locking on
(see the Pulse technique on Page 16). Witli the other hand, give it a
quick tap and release as soon as you hear tlie motor start. For
coarser onion or garlic chunks, Pulse oiily a few times. For a minced
consistency, Pulse five or six times. And for a smooth puree, just
keep Pillsing, or Lock On (see Page 17) until you've achieved a
smooth, thin consistency.
۩
When chopping onions and garlic, you may find the Tap
Technique (Page 18) 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
dishwasher-friendly 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 ra/I
Gulp, or Parb/ mug, and twist on the Gross B/ado. (See recipes on
Page 82.)
Then ... place the cup onto the Po"er Base, push down on the cup
and twist clockwise until the tabs of the cup fit under the lip of the
Pomer Base and the motor is running consistently (Lock On mode).
Keep I}lenllimg ... 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.
۩
®
20
lf 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 witl\ different smootl\ie ingredients. Smoouhiies
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.BuyTheBilllet.com.

lM-018
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 Parfy mugs, then twist on your
favorite-color Gomforf fi.p fli."g, so everyone knows whose drink is
whose. Parrying has never been easier -or more fun!
First . . . Add ice to the Party mug (or ra// Gwp).
Next . .. add your favorite ingredients (see page 43 for some of our
favorites) and twist on the Gross B/ado.
Tlien ... Place the cup onto the Power Base, push down on the cup,
twist to [oa* 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.
۩
lf 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
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-over-to-get-the-coffee-out ordeal that you do with
www.HomelandHousewares.com
lM-018
21

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 Ploast taste like French Vanilla!
First . „ Add coffee beans to the Sword Cup and twist on the Ffaf
BIade.
Next ... Place the cup onto the Pomer Base.
Now ... Pulse a few times, or Lock Om, until the beans are ground
to the desired texture.
Remember ... the finer the grind, the stronger the coffee, lf 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 77 for some of our favorite coffee recipes.
Mixing Batters and Dreads
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 instant pancake
batter. Since it's so quick, everyone can have the add-ins they like.
First ... Add the ingredients into the Magic Bullet Ta// Cup,
Then ... BIend the ingredients until smooth.
When using alld-ins ... The power of the Magic Bullet will mince
add-ins into tiny little pieces -which is great for flavor, but you
www.HomelandHousewares.com
lM-018
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. 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 Sfrorf Cup.
Then ... Twist on the cross B/ade and give it several quick Pulses.
Plemember to apply a bit of counter-clockwise pressure to the cup to
keep it from Locking Om (see the Pulse technique on Page 16.)

you've pulled out all the stops.

Grinding spices ©
Now it's easy to spice up your life ... just use your Magic Bullet. No
pre-ground 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 SHarfer raps, you can serve
right to the table. Bon appetit!
First . . . Add your favorite fresh spice to the SHorf Cup.
Next .„ Twist on the ffaf B/adG and grind until you've created a
slightly textured powder.

the FJaf B/ado. 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 S»akeA/Sfcamer 7dy
onto the Magic Bullet cup and turn your Magic Bullet cup into a
cheese shaker!

First . .. Add your favorite cheese to the Sword Cup.
Next ... Twist on the Gross B/ade and grind until you've created a
coarsely textured powder,
Then . .. Twist on the large-holed SHaker/Steamer rap.
Grinding Meals
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 pates right in your Magic Bullet
... in just 10 seconds or less.
First . .. Add the meat to the ra// Cup and twist on the Gross B/ado.
Then ... Pulse (Page 16) until you get the consistency you want.
Since meat is very dense, you may need to use the Tap technique
(Page 18) to make sure every bit gets ground.
®Devi./ed Ham. Check out the Deviled Ham recipe on Page 66 for
a scrumptious ground meat recipe.
Whi|iping 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.
First . .. Add heavy cream to the SHorf Cup.
Then ... Twist on the fJaf B/ade and whip until smooth. You'll hear it
when it's done; the sound of the motor will change to a hum.

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 7lap and
place the cup in the microwave. Seconds later, you'II 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 ... BIend or Pulse your ingredients together.
Then . .. Remove the blade, twist on a shaker/Sfcamer lap (do not
put the blades in the microwave) and place the cup in the
microwave.
Cook until really, then ... Remove with an oven mitt and serve.
ca®
28
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
SHarfer/Steamer raps. Also, remember that the contents and the
cup will be hot, so always use an oven mitt.
Storing Leftovers in the Magic Bullet Cups
AI Homeland Housewares, we understand that your
time is valuable; that is why we've made Slay-free/ ,z~
iEiiE
#e-sea/ab/a fi-ds that twist right onto the Magic
Bullet cups. Now you can prepare, cook and store
your food all in the same vessel! No unnecessary
to clean, no plastic wrap, foil or plastic containers to deal with . . .
just twist on a stay-fresh lid and pop your leftovers in the refrigera-
tor. You can even bring your leftovers to work or school, by just toss-
ing the sealed cup into your bag and go! Then at work, you can
reheat your leftovers in the microwave -all in the same cup!

Cleaning the Magic Bullet
Everyone hates cleaning up, which is just one more reason the
Magic Bullet is so great. You can make and cook fresh homemade
spaghetti meat sauce (see recipe on Page 67) from scratch and only
use one tall Bullet cup! Imagine delicious, piping hot pasta sauces,
salsa, fresh soups and more, all prepared with no cutting boards, no
pots and pans, just a single cup and blade to put in the dishwasher.
It doesn't get any easier than that.
EIu+H:a
Always unplug the Magic Bullet when cleaning or assembling.
Washing Magic Bullet Attachments
lt is so easy . . . Just place any of the pieces (except for the PovMer
Base) on top shelf of the dishwasher, or hand wash with warm soapy
water and rinse.
ao©
®
Always make sure the gaskets are still inside after cleaning.
The heat from some dishwashers can cause them to become
loose and pop out,
Stwboom a/eanwpwhen you let ingredients dry in the Magic
Bullet, or when you've melted cheese in the cups, make your
cleanup a snap by filling the cup with soapy water and
microwaving it for one minute. That will loosen the stuck
ingredients and with a light scrub, you'll be all done.
Cleaning the Magic Bullet Power Base
For the most part the Pomer Base doesn't really get dirty, but if
you neglect to twist the blade onto the cup tightly, liquids can leak
out and get into the base and activator buttons. Here's how to clean
it up.
www.HomelandHousewares.com
'M-018
29

Before you begiffi q „ The most important thing is to UNPLUG the
Power Basd.
Then ... Use a damp rag to wipe down the inside and outside of the
Power Base.
Sometimes the base gets so dirty .„ that the little white sliders
that activate the Magic Bullet get sticky. This can cause the motor to
continue to spin even after you've released the cup. When this
happens, start by UNPLUGGING the Power Base.
Then ... Double-check that you've UNPLUGGED the Power Base,
and use a damp rag to soften up the gunk around the activators as
you work the activator buttons up and down until they move freely
again.

Our team at Homeland Housewares has had the pleasure of
personally testing every single recipe suggestion in this cookbook.
Out of the thousands of delicious delicacies you can prepare in the
Magic Bullet, we've chosen our favorite ``10 seconds or less" recipes
to share with you. We've added our notes, serving suggestions and
tips so you can get the most out of each recipe.
The Magic Bullet is all about creating delicious meals, drinks and
snacks in 10 seconds or less, with virtually no clean up. During our
recipe creation and selection process, we discovered certain
ingredients made the 10 second recipes even easier, faster and
neater. Here they are:
Boiler Onions
Boiler onions are flavorful little onions that are about an inch to an
inch and a half in diameter. You can find them in the produce
section of most grocery stores. They are perfect for the Magic Bullet
because you can throw them in whole, no cutting board, no knife . . .
just toss them in the Magic Bullet cup and you're ready to go. One
boiler onion (they range in size) is the equivalent of about 1/4 cup
Of Onion.
Pro-peeled Garlic ln Jars
Some genius decided to pre-peel garlic and sell it in jars. You can
find this pre-peeled garlic in the produce section of most grocery
stores. When a recipe calls for a clove or two of garlic, just open up
the jar and toss them in the cup. All the flavor, without all the
work, . .it doesn't get any easier!
CI\erry Tlomatoes
Cherry tomatoes are not only perfectly sized to throw right into the
Bullet Cups, they are extremely flavorful. Our recipes are based on
the cherry tomatoes that are about an inch in diameter. On average
about 4-6 cherry tomatoes equals a 1/4 cup of tomato.

Baby Carrots
Cutting and peeling carrots is tough work. We highly recommend
using the pre-peeled, baby size carrots that are available in the
produce section of most grocery stores. These tiny carrots are
sweet, tasty and perfectly sized for the Magic Bullet cups.
And remember, to make things as easy as possible for you, we've
created a series of icons so, in a glance, you can learn about a
recipe. The key of icons used in this book can be found on page 10.
For your convenience, we've also created an index that categorizes
the recipes by Fat-Free, Kid-Friendly and more. The index can be
found on Page 91.
We want you to try the recipes in this cookbook because, well, we've
devoured every one of them and know how good they are! We also
want to make sure you understand that with The Magic Bullet, the
possibilities are endless. Because everything is so quick and easy to
make, it's the perfect device for experimenting.
Don't hesitate to add or omit ingredients and if you want to vary a
recipe, or totally rework it . . . go for it. We encourage that type of
Magic Bullet bravery. Go ahead and create your very own Magic
Bullet masterpieces and when you are ready to share them with the
rest of the world, you can post them on the Magic Bullet website at
www.BuyTheBullet.com.

Why spend a fortune on mediocre store-bought dips when you can
make your own tantalizing party spreads in less than 10 seconds,
and for a fraction of the price. Each of these dips has been selected
for flavor, popularity and ease. Go ahead and call some friends, it's
time to throw a Bullet Bash!

No party is complete without salsa! This chunky, delicious blend is a
flavor fiesta. Your guests will be talking about it for weeks to come!
1 -2 boiler onions or 1/4 of a regular sized onion (about 1/4 cup)
1 /6 to i /4 of a jalapeno pepper
8-10 cherry tomatoes or 1 regular size tomato (about 1/2 cup)

ra// Cup. ryou may have to cut the tomatoes a bit, depending on the
size you choose.)
Them ... Twist on the Gross a/ade and place the cup onto the
Power Base,
Next ... Give it several quick Pulses. Salsa should be
chunky, so be careful not to
over-process it. Remember to apply a bit of
counter-clockwise pressure to the cup to
keep it from Locking On (See Pulse
technique on Page 16).
Repeat the quick Pulse tecliniqiie ...
until you achieve a blended yet
chunky texture.

When you pour your fresh salsa in a bowl, you may notice the
power of the Magic Bullet has made it a little foamy. Don't
panic -the foam is actually tiny air bubbles that go away
after a few minutes. If it bothers you, lay a paper towel down on top
of the salsa and gently blot . . . no more foam. Also, when you make
salsa with a knife, you typically seed the tomatoes first. Since we're
throwing the tomatoes in whole, there may be more juice than you're
used to. If so, just twist on the Sna*er/Sfcamer rap and strain out
some of the extra liquid.

Serve your salsa with tortilla chips, slices of Italian bread, or
as a dip for triangles of quesadilla (see recipe Page 33).

This dip is great, either chunky or smooth, lf you want it
chunky, don't overdo the Pulsing. Quickly Pulse, stop and let
the ingredients settle. Use the Tap technique (Page 18) to
speed up the settling process. Pulse again and repeat until you've
created the bean dip of your dreams!

This dip is great both warm and cold. If you go for the warm
version, try adding 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese to the
ingredients before you blend it. (lf you don't have room,
partially mix the ingredients, then add the cheese.) Take the blade
off, place the shaker/SlcamGr 7lap on the cup and microwave for
about 2-3 minutes (until warm throughout). Give the dip another
quick Pulse or two, then serve immediately. The warm version goes
perfectly with machos or sliced crusty Italian bread.

A little guacamole trivia: During Super Bowl 2002, football fans
consumed 13.2 million pounds of guacamole. Don't deprive your
guests! With this simple, delicious recipe it's easy to give the gift of

1 large avocado
2-3 cloves garlic

depending on the size you choose.)
Then ... Twist on the dross a/ade and place the cup onto the
Power Base.
And ... Give it 3 or 4 quick Pulses until all the ingredients are
chopped and blended. Make sure to apply a bit of counter-clockwise
pressure to the cup to keep it from Locking On.
(See Pulse technique on Page 16.)
Since guacamole is thick, you may need to
use the Tap technique (Page 18) to make
sure everything gets completely chopped.

chilled, Serve with machos, as a
taco or fajita topping, or add a
