How To Care For Your Magic Bullet Blender

As with any household appliance, there is a way to properly care for the Magic Bullet Blender® but the owner of the blender must be meticulous and cautious with it. Because it is a smaller blender, which should not take up too much space, it can fit easily into a tiny area in the kitchen, avoiding the clutter and possible damage of the bottom drawers of the kitchen which hold the large crock pot, waffle maker, and bread maker. Besides, the more this appliance is out in the open and in a usable space, the more the owner will use it and not think of it as wasted money, like the other appliances relegated to the bottom drawer of the kitchen because they are too bulky to be on the counter.

The Magic Bullet Blender® is dishwasher safe, with some provisions. First, never put THE BULLET™ cups on the bottom rack of the dishwasher. They will become deformed and not work properly because they are too close to the dishwasher’s heat source. Keep that heat source relatively low. If you are used to having the dishes cleaned with very hot water, make an exception for this load. It will save you time and money and you will not have to replace your cups. THE BULLET™ cups and drink cups should be on the top rock of the dishwasher with every wash. This would be a good idea with the lids for these cups as well. Everything else can go into the dishwasher except the power base. If you wash this, you have just washed the battery and electrical part of the machine and it will not work anymore. The blades can be put into the dishwasher, however, make sure one places them into the dishwasher blade side down, so cuts do not occur.

The tall and short cups that are used to chop or blend the food with are microwaveable as well. To know exactly what time to use for the cups, consult the owner’s manual and it should be able to give estimates on how long to use the cups in the microwave. The tops to these cups are also microwaveable, but again, checking with the owner’s manual is the best way to approach this.

In order to properly use the machine and take care of it, the owner needs to know the three steps to use the machine. The first step is to place the ingredients into the cup, whatever size cup is needed for the meal, and make certain the food has been washed or prepared in order of what the meal demands. Second, place the blade which is needed to chop the food onto the open part of the cup. Be certain the blade is facing the food, not the hand of the operator. Twist the blade onto the cup until it is secure. A simple upside down shake, where the operator is holding the top of the cup and shaking the food against the blade would be sufficient to make certain the blade in secure. Third, place the secured cup and blade onto the power base, making sure to line up the tabs on the cup with the tabs on the power base. When all is in place, hold the cup down for 5-10 seconds or until the food is blended to satisfaction.
