First … Make sure the hand holding the cup is
applying counter-clockwise pressure to keep it from
locking on.
Then … Give the Bullet a strong downward shake to
throw the ingredients into the blade, and Pulse at the
bottom of the shake.
Repeat … until you get the right consistency.
CAUTION: the Power Base motor must be off and not
running when using the Shake technique.
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.
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.
The “Shake” Technique
Sometimes, when you are working with thicker ingredients, like
those in chicken salad (Page 65) or marinara sauce (Page 69), 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” Shake: When making smoothies,
dips or other recipes where you are using the
Bullet in Lock On mode, simply …
While in Lock On mode … pick up the
whole cup and Power Base and shake it like
a cocktail shaker.
Repeat … if necessary until you achieve the
consistency you want.
The “Shakin’ Pulse”: When you need to shake ingredients
that you want coarsely chopped, like salsa or meat salads, you are
going to want to use the Shakin’ Pulse technique.
