MasterChef AU Season 12

After a long culinary journey, the two finalists are competing for a $250,000 cash prize and the title of MasterChef Australia 2020.

In the semifinal challenge, our top three contestants compete for a place in the Grand Final. At the end of this challenge, three become two.

In this elimination challenge, contestants must choose to use either ingredients from an ordinary pantry or an extraordinary pantry.

The contestants discover the mystery box, covered in a Union Jack flag, has been set by guest chef Gordon Ramsay.

In this mammoth elimination challenge, the contestants discover not only will they be cooking a four-course meal for the MasterChef judges, but for six of the hottest chefs in the country.

Who will make the finals? With no set rules in place, the contestants must mutually decide the cook time to create a dish, sweet or savoury, that best proves to the judges they have come back to win.

The race to finals week is on! The makers of the top three dishes from the mystery box challenge will battle it out for one last chance at winning immunity this season.

Phil Wood, from two of Victoria’s finest restaurants, reveals that round one is a pressure test. Contestants have 75 minutes to replicate his dish: potatoes duchess with shiitake mushrooms and cauliflower.

In the battle for top five, contestants must choose two cloches and cook with the ingredients underneath. They can give up one cloche and select a third, however they must cook with the third ingredient.

This episode’s mystery box is inspired by colour. The dish can be sweet or savoury, and contestants can access the pantry with the garden also in play. So why is Melissa so emotional?
