MasterChef AU – Season 13

It’s Second Chance Week in the MasterChef kitchen. Across the week, 11 previously eliminated contestants are back with not one, but two chances to get back in the competition.

Elimination Challenge. This elimination is played over two rounds. In the first round, contestants must identify the 14 game meats on display. The six contestants with the lowest scores will cook off in round two.

The contestants must cook a dish using some of the hottest chillies in the world. The dish that best highlights the heat and flavour of their chilli will win immunity.

Mystery Box Challenge. The contestants must create a dish using only the 11 utensils in the mystery box. The dish can be sweet or savoury, with an open pantry and access to the garden.

In today’s pressure test, it’s a fight to stay in the competition and four contestants must recreate a dish without ever seeing it.

Contestants must choose from either a potato, broccoli, carrot, brown onion or zucchini to make a delicious dish featuring the vegetable of choice, but not necessarily a vegetarian dish.

Each team must create a dish that features the ingredient hidden underneath the tablecloth and must also use an allocated electrical appliance at some stage during the cook.

Each team has two-and-a-half hours to cook a three-course meal and each course must champion a colour chosen by the toss of a coin.

For today’s challenge, two pantries are on offer, a European pantry and an Eastern pantry. By the toss of a coin, the team that win the toss get to choose their desired pantry.

Today’s challenge is all about the ingredients. Each team must feature the same ingredient in each course.
