You have two choices: let the machine think, or take the wheel. The preset buttons (Smoothie, Frozen Drink, Puree) are like a GPS for your ingredients—just press and walk away. For everything else, use the manual buttons: Low, High, and the infamous Pulse.
Pulse is your secret weapon. Press it in short bursts to chop nuts or herbs without turning them into dust. Use it like a drummer’s kick pedal—pulsing, not holding. Holding Pulse for too long is the Ninja equivalent of flooring a Ferrari in a parking lot.
