Magic Bullet To Go 200W
No, do not put hot or fizzy ingredients in the Magic Bullet To Go 200W cup; blend only cold or room-temperature food and liquid.
What can go into the sealed cup?
- For the Magic Bullet To Go 200W, start with cold or room-temperature food and liquid; leave hot liquids out of the blending cup.
- Keep carbonated drinks and other fizzy ingredients out of the cup: released gas can force the cup and Cross Blade apart.
- Keep the contents below the MAX line and stop within one minute of continuous blending; blade friction heats the ingredients.
- Heated ingredients can create pressure in a sealed cup, which may erupt when you open it and cause thermal injury.
What if the cup becomes warm?
- Let the sealed cup cool before attempting to open it.
- Once cool, carefully open the cup with its opening pointed away from your body.
- Release internal pressure before storing a blend, remove the Cross Blade and fit the flip top lid instead.
Can I heat the blend in the cup?
- Keep the Magic Bullet To Go 200W cup, power base and accessories out of the microwave.
Magic Bullet Blender Combo
Yes, hot, warm or fizzy ingredients can go in the Magic Bullet Blender Combo vented pitcher; no, they must not go in its sealed blending cup.
Which container can I use?
- Use the Blending Pitcher with its vented lid for hot, warm or carbonated ingredients. Use the Blending Cup only for refrigerated or room-temperature ingredients at 21°C or cooler.
- In the cup, avoid soda, carbonated water, baking powder, baking soda, yeast, some batters, cake mix, dry ice and anything else that becomes bubbly. Check protein-powder ingredient labels for effervescent ingredients.
- For a cup recipe served warm, blend cool ingredients first, then transfer the food to a stovetop pot for heating. Keep Magic Bullet Blender Combo parts out of the microwave, oven, air fryer, stovetop pots and boiling water; do not use the parts as freezer containers.
- Keep the cup below MAX. Avoid back-to-back cup blending; after two consecutive cycles, wait at least 10–15 minutes before another cycle. For storage, remove the blade and use the To-Go Lid or a vented container.
How do I blend hot, warm or fizzy ingredients in the pitcher?
- With the appliance off and unplugged, check that the Cross Blade is secure underneath the pitcher; turn the blade counter-clockwise to tighten. Add the ingredients without passing the pitcher’s MAX line or LIQUID MAX marking.
- Check that the Pitcher Lid’s vent slots are clear. Press the lid firmly onto the pitcher, then press down and twist the Vented Lid Cap closed.
- Place the pitcher upright on the base and turn clockwise until it clicks into place. Plug in, then start on LOW; increase speed only after the ingredients are mixed.
- To add ingredients once the mixture is combined, slowly open the Vented Lid Cap, keeping clear of escaping steam and hot splashes. Carefully add through that opening and reinstall the cap; keep hands, spoons and other tools out of the pitcher.
- Turn the control knob to HOME when finished. Wait until the blade has stopped before removing the pitcher, and open the lid carefully because hot steam or food may escape.
What if I accidentally warm or pressurise the sealed cup?
- Stop blending immediately and unplug. Leave the cup where it is; do not touch it, let anyone else touch it, keep blending or remove it from the motor base.
- Wait at least 30 minutes. If the cup is still warm, allow more cooling time.
- Only when completely cool to the touch, slowly disengage the cup from the base.
- Point the cup away from your face and body, cover the blade with a towel and slowly untwist the Cross Blade to release residual pressure.
- If the blade will not untwist, chat with us. Do not heat, force or pry the parts apart, and do not leave the mixture stored under the blade for a prolonged period: fermentation can build pressure. Arrange safe disposal of the cup and its contents so that no one is injured if fermentation forces the parts apart.
Always fit the vented Pitcher Lid with the Cap twisted closed so ingredients do not splash out; this matters most with hot ingredients, to prevent burns, injury or property damage.
Magic Bullet Kitchen Express 250W
No, do not use hot ingredients in the Magic Bullet Kitchen Express 250W cup or work bowl, or fizzy ingredients in its sealed cup; use room-temperature or cooler food.
Can I use the cup or food-processor bowl for a hot recipe?
- Load the Magic Bullet Kitchen Express 250W with room-temperature or cooler ingredients only, whether using the cup or work bowl.
- Keep carbonated ingredients out of the sealed blending cup and keep food within the relevant MAX line.
- Limit continuous blending or processing to one minute. Longer running heats the food and can build pressure in the cup or bowl.
- Turn the control knob to OFF and let the blade stop completely before removing the cup or bowl.
Never blend hot ingredients: pressure from heated ingredients can make the cup or bowl separate from the base and cause thermal injury.
Keep carbonated ingredients out of the sealed blending cup: they can pressurise it.
