does anybody have a magic bullet? is it a good appliance? should i order one?

Answer 1

I bought my Magic Bullet at a Wallgreens. It didn't come with the blender so wasn't too expensive. Mostly what I use mine for is to make drinks. Last night it was a smoothie..... peach, ice, milk and some splenda. Great stuff.

Answer 2

I don't own one of these. My experience is that infomercial products never meet your expectations. In an infomercial they can control exactly what you see and what you don't. If you watch the same infomercial again and again, you too will start to notice how they skillfully lead you from one thing their product does well to another, often completely bypassing the things you'd actually use it for.

Also, they always have blades that never need sharpening. That's code for "can never be sharpened...once these blades are dull, throw the whole thing away."

The one I especially remember for this is some kind of miracle chopper with blades made of supersharp German steel that was essentially a coffee grinder on steroids, plugged by pitchman "Chef Tony". They showed you that it could do all kinds of things you don't need to do, like grind concrete to powder, turn peanuts into peanut butter, or make powdered sugar out of regular sugar. This masked the fact that it really couldn't do many things you WOULD want to do---it could grind dry ingredients to a powder, and it could puree wet and dry mixtures to a slurry . . .which made it good for making salsa and omelettes, and that was about it.

The magic bullet strikes me as a very similar product. It can grind cheese and other ingredients for qesadillas! It can make a smoothie! It can blend wet and dry ingredents to make Alfredo sauce!

If Cooks Illustrated didn't like it, then it's probably bad--they are like the Consumer Reports for cooking gear. For making smoothies and sauces, you will probably dirty fewer dishes and get more mileage out of an immersion blender aka stick blender. The fancier ones with extra attachments can also chop onions, etc. etc. but you might get a lot out of fairly basic one.

The single bullet theory (also known as the magic bullet theory by the majority of critics and conspiracy theorists) is the crucial element of the Warren Commission theory that only one assassin shot during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The theory, generally credited to by Warren Commission staffer Arlen Specter (now a US Senator), posits that a single bullet, known as "Warren Commission Exhibit 399" (also known as "CE399"), caused all of the non-fatal wounds in both President John F. Kennedy and Governor John Connally. It is an important theory because its plausibility has been a popular point of contention. The 1979 House Select Committee on Assassinations Report agreed with the theory, but differed on the time frame.

Answer 4

I don't have one, but I have been FASCINATED by their infomercials to the point of seriously considering one myself. I have decided against buying one for myself, however. Mostly because I cook in large quantities and I would have to pre cut all the stuff to fit into the small bullet. More so than with my large Cuisinart, which I leave on the counter to keep handy. And partly because of all the other appliances-george forman, milkshake machine, etc- I have collecting dust in my pantry make me think I have a bad track record with novelty items.

If you could find one for a great price (try Ebay for cheap "as seen on TV" products), it might be worth a try. Some people cook more when they have gadgetry...it makes it more fun...atleast for a while. Oh well, you could always sell it on Ebay when you tire of it :)

Answer 5

I do and I love it. However, I got it at Walmart for like 15 bucks which is why I have it. I wouldn't pay that kind of money for a souped up blender when Braun has been making similar products for years that work just as good. It isn't as easy as they make it out to be on the tube, but I like the thing and it's easier than whipping out a full on food processor. Be patient and look around in the stores, you may find one for less that you won't have to pay shipping on, especially around the Christmas season. Good question!!

Answer 6

The regulation of Conservation of Mass states that rely won't be able to be created nor destroyed. From this, we can logically finish that the Universe has continually been there. yet how does this make experience? by using definition, the word "supernatural" means that it won't be able to be defined by using organic rules. For the large Bang to have befell in accordance to the organic rules we already comprehend, it might want to must be an unlimited progression of expansions and contractions, which could recommend there changed into under no circumstances a placing out to it. it truly is the position theists make the mistakes of arguing from lack of understanding; because the beginning of the large Bang won't be able to be defined, God must have performed it. however, for the reason that there changed into "no longer some thing" (I positioned citation marks round it because it truly isn't any longer completely actual) earlier the large Bang, even with the certainty that brought about it to take position changed into no longer sure by using the rules of the Universe, because it did not exist yet. perchance, then, some thing might want to have come from "no longer some thing."

Answer 7

The magic bullet I found was not all it was cracked up to be. I still have to chop certain things small enough to fit in it and be diced up proper.
It doesnt chop things it purees them.. no matter how hard I try.
It is good for making drinks and that is about it.

Answer 8

I have had a bullet for three years, I use it about three times a week. The best thing about it is it has broken on me twice under warranty and they replaced it both times, fast, no questions, hassles or grief! That's what I call magic!

Answer 9

I do not have one, but I subscribe Cooks Illustrated web site and they have a review of one. Their response was that is could not deliver on all of its promises, was hard to stor the 23 pieces, and was very loud. Save your money and stick the your blender, knife, and whisk.

Answer 10

It's a blender. Buy one and make someone else rich. Then it gets put in the closet for 10 years. It's a marketing thing.........
