Esta serie fue ganada por Sashi Cheliah en la gran final contra Ben Borsht, el 31 de julio de 2018. [2]
Cambios
Esta temporada introdujo un cambio en Mystery Box Challenge. El ganador pasará directamente al Desafío de inmunidad, lo que significa que no cocinará en la prueba de invención y estará a salvo de la Prueba de presión al día siguiente.
La semana 10 presentó a los concursantes restantes compitiendo por un delantal especial de "10 años de superpotencia", que funciona de manera similar a un pin de inmunidad y un delantal de poder, pero permite al portador retirarse durante cualquier etapa de cualquier desafío individual hasta la degustación.

Fue Michelle quien tuvo éxito con su pastel de lava de chocolate y ganó el último lugar en el Top 24. | 845.000 | # 5 |
3 / 01-3 | Miércoles, 9 de mayo de 2018 | Desafío de cocina de hospitalidad : en su primer día en la competencia, los 24 mejores tuvieron 90 minutos y una despensa abierta para cocinar sus platos e impresionar a los jueces, centrándose en la hospitalidad.

Jess tuvo éxito con su mousse de chocolate blanco y gelatina de frambuesa, lo que impresionó al juzgar.

Se elogió el plato de salmón de Brett con puré de zanahoria, pero no los garbanzos, que estaban demasiado cocidos.

A los concursantes restantes se les dio 75 minutos para preparar platos centrados en la precipitación en la Prueba de Invención, y los tres primeros se unieron a Sashi en el Desafío de Inmunidad. Chloe, Kristen y Tim se destacaron como los tres primeros y avanzaron para competir por la inmunidad. Samira, Sarah, Metter y Michelle fallaron durante el desafío con los tres platos de abajo enviando a sus cocineras (Samira, Metter y Michelle) a la Prueba de Presión. | 723.000 | # 6 |
6 / 02-2 | Lunes, 14 de mayo de 2018 | Prueba de presión: Tarta Tatin de manzana y romero de Maggie Beer - Maggie Beer desafió a Metter, Michelle y Samira a recrear su tarta tatin, el primer plato de Prueba de presión de la primera serie, acompañada de natillas y helado en dos y medio horas. Samira impresionó con su enfoque del plato de Maggie, ganando elogios en general. Fue entre Metter y Michelle para la eliminación, y aunque el caramelo de esta última era demasiado oscuro y amargo, las manzanas crudas y la masa densa poco horneada de Metter aseguraron que se convirtiera en el segundo concursante en ser eliminado. | 820 000 | # 7 |
7 / 02-3 | Martes, 15 de mayo de 2018 | Desafío de inmunidad: Shui Ishizaka : en la primera ronda, Chloe, Kristen, Sashi y Tim tuvieron que hacer un plato simple con huevos y su elección de artículos de despensa.

A cada equipo se le asignó su respectiva proteína principal: carne (roja) y mariscos (azul). La falta de comunicación en el equipo azul de Sashi luchó por obtener sugerencias y su demanda por los platos (particularmente el principal de salmón) que el equipo rojo de Tim, pero este último tropezó con uno de sus platos de aperitivo de carne y los obligó a improvisarlo en el tiempo de preparación de tres horas. Después del servicio, ambos equipos obtuvieron elogios con sus platos principales, pero tuvieron fallas técnicas en uno de sus canapés. Sin embargo, el factor decisivo fue la presentación inadecuada y el desequilibrio del postre del equipo rojo después de que el equipo azul superó el desafío. | 762.000 | # 7 |
9 / 02-5 | Jueves, 17 de mayo de 2018 | Primer desafío de eliminación de la memoria alimentaria : los miembros del equipo que perdieron el desafío del equipo tuvieron que cocinar platos que influyeron en su primera pasión por la comida. Después de que Aldo, Brendan y Reece produjeron los mejores platos, los buñuelos de maíz de Adele eran demasiado densos y carecían de especias, mientras que el bizcocho de matcha de Jenny era pesado y poco horneado, pero Denise se esforzó en hacer su ensalada de manitas de cerdo en el desafío de 75 minutos ya que la proteína era cocinado de manera inconsistente y condujo a su eliminación. | 792.000 | # 5 |
Semana 3 - Semana Nigella | ||||

Ben, Loki y Hoda lograron cumplir con el escrito y fueron nombrados Top 3, las menciones fueron a los platos de Lisa y Reece.

Chloe clavó el desafío con sus platos, ya que se redujo a Jenny y Adele. La mousse de Jenny estaba demasiado líquida después de luchar con las claras de huevo y la tarta de queso de Adele se apresuró a ensamblar mientras sus dos galletas estaban poco horneadas. Pero Adele olvidó las chispas de chocolate blanco en la masa que no logró el objetivo de la Prueba de Presión de Nigella y eso fue suficiente para eliminarla. | 805.000 | # 6 |

Loki ganó elogios por su Kingfish con Shellfish Lemon Broth y anotó 37 puntos sobre los 34 de Alanna, lo que le valió el pin de inmunidad. | 877.000 | # 5 |
13 / 03-4 | Miércoles, 23 de mayo de 2018 | Brunch Cafe Service Challenge : los concursantes, liderados por Aldo del equipo rojo y Kristen del equipo azul, se hicieron cargo del servicio en dos cafés adyacentes (Kitty Burns y Frankie Says) en Abbotsford, Victoria y sirvieron su menú de cuatro almuerzos preparados. en dos horas y media para 75 clientes cada uno. Durante el tiempo de preparación, Brendan del equipo rojo se lesionó cuando se cortó la mano con una botella rota de aceite de oliva; los otros miembros del equipo se hicieron cargo.

Al juzgar, el postre de Khanh tenía fallas técnicas en el resto de sus elementos a pesar de ganar elogios con su helado de pistacho. Hoda y Samira entregaron platos destacados, mientras que Genene también impresionó con su plato. Fue entre Tim y Khanh. Tim se arriesgó al preparar una bomba de Alaska en el cook. Pero en general, el plato era demasiado dulce y las capas carecían de precisión, ya que se derrumbó después de que su parfait se descongeló por completo cuando lo presentó a los jueces y, como resultado, Tim abandonó la competencia. | 781.000 | # 5 |

Samira hizo un Pilaf de Calabaza con Codorniz y Saffron Jus que anotó 24 puntos pero perdió ante la creatividad de Jo quien anotó 29 puntos con su postre de papa, romero y jengibre. Sashi anotó 20 puntos por su curry de pato deconstruido combinado con su elección de verduras, mientras que el rosbif de Gavin con salsa de vino tinto no cumplió con el requisito para resaltar las verduras, ya que anotó 18 puntos. Reece elaboró un postre innovador con verduras (Sorbete de pepino con mousse de yogur) y obtuvo 25 puntos, mientras que John preparó un dashi de mariscos con tomates, sin embargo, el caldo fue abrumador, usó demasiados copos de bonito y el plato obtuvo 21 puntos. Por sus respectivas victorias, Reece y Sashi tuvieron éxito en el desafío de ganar un pin de inmunidad cada uno. | 881.000 | # 6 |
18 / 04-4 | Miércoles, 30 de mayo de 2018 | Desafío de servicio de cena de tres platos: Gordon seleccionó a los concursantes en dos equipos y los guió para el desafío de servicio, donde tenían que cocinar una cena de tres platos para cincuenta comensales en cuatro horas. En el tiempo de preparación, la comunicación en el equipo de Chloe's Blue falló en la cocina y produjo fallas técnicas en los primeros platos de sabor criticados por Gordon. El relleno de gambas para el plato principal estaba demasiado cocido, el salmón estaba crudo para el plato principal y la panna cotta para el postre no estaba preparada. Durante el tiempo de servicio, el equipo rojo de Brendan recortó la grasa de cerdo para mejorar el plato principal, mientras que el equipo azul cambió el plato principal para recuperar el tiempo, pero su plato principal de salmón se cocinó de manera inconsistente al juzgar. Los resultados se redujeron a los errores de los platos principales de ambos equipos, pero la comunicación defectuosa y el plato de salmón enviaron al equipo azul a la eliminación. | 863.000 | # 6 |
19 / 04-5 | Jueves, 31 de mayo de 2018 | Prueba de presión: pollo asado de Matt Abé con verduras de verano y consomé de hierbas verdes : los concursantes tuvieron que recrear un plato de pollo con tres estrellas Michelin del restaurante Gordon Ramsay del chef Matt Abé en la prueba de presión de dos horas y media. Jo entregó su mejor interpretación del plato sobre el de Ben, mientras que los tres últimos enfrentaron la decisión de los jueces: el pollo de Sarah estaba exagerado y sus otros elementos eran inconsistentes. A Chloe le faltaba mousse mientras que su consomé estaba plano. Sin embargo, a pesar de su buena racha a lo largo de la competencia, Loki, quien tuvo el pin de inmunidad la semana pasada, puso en riesgo su posición al participar en el desafío. Cayó bajo la presión y su pollo estaba demasiado cocido mientras que la mousse estaba granulada, el consomé carecía de sabor y las verduras estaban desordenadas lo que resultó en su eliminación, convirtiéndolo en el primer concursante en salir de la competencia con posesión del alfiler sin usarlo nunca. | 845.000 | # 5 |
Semana 5 | ||||
20 / 05-1 | Domingo, 3 de junio de 2018 | Prueba de invención de "20" Box Challenge y Team Relay - El desafío Mystery Box requería que los concursantes compraran en 20 minutos con $ 20 por los ingredientes que eligieran y cocinaran un plato en 75 minutos. Sarah fue nombrada ganadora de la primera ronda por la oportunidad de competir en el Immunity Challenge. Samira, Genene, Kristen y Lisa, quienes tenían los cinco primeros platos restantes, fueron asignadas para comenzar en la primera etapa de una prueba de invención de relevos por equipos y para resaltar la miel en sus platos. El equipo azul produjo el único plato impresionante y se unió a Sarah para competir por el Immunity Challenge. El equipo amarillo improvisó su plato en los dos primeros cambios, pero en el último tramo, su ganache de chocolate fue innecesario en el plato. El equipo rojo luchó en todo momento y tuvo fallas generales en su plato, pero fue el trabajo en equipo desarticulado del equipo verde (Lisa, Jenny, Jo y Brendan) cuando presentaron el plato menos impresionante, enviándolos directamente a la eliminación. | 781.000 | # 6 |
21/05-2 | Monday, 4 June 2018 | Pressure Test: Darren Purchese's Peach Melba - Brendan, Jenny, Jo and Lisa were given three hours to recreate Darren Purchese's first dish, peach Melba, with a tempered white chocolate collar and a raspberry tuile encased in a sugar cage. Brendan astonished with his version of Darren's dish while Jenny's take also impressed the judges. Both of them were declared safe. Neither Lisa nor Jo plated the chocolate in their dishes but Jo overpoached her peaches and her tuile was too thick which eliminated her from the competition. | 850,000 | #6 |
22/05-3 | Tuesday, 5 June 2018 | Immunity Challenge: Jacqui Challinor - Aldo, Jess, Samira, Sarah and Sashi had 45 minutes to cook their chicken wings with a side dish in the first round. The two best dishes belonged to Sarah and Jess, and it was the latter's first savoury dish that won her the chance to compete against Jacqui Challinor from Nomad restaurant. Jess chose the big ingredients (including eggs) to cook her lime tart in 75 minutes while Jacqui prepped barbecue prawns in 60 minutes. The judges gave praise for the tart but it was too sweet from the overuse of meringue and Jess scored 25 points against Jacqui's score of 28 for her prawn dish. | 852,000 | #6 |
23/05-4 | Wednesday, 6 June 2018 | Two-Course Team Challenge from Memory - The sixteen contestants were divided into two teams to replicate a main course and a dessert from the restaurant Wickens at the Royal Mail Hotel in Dunkeld. The Red team, led by captain Lisa and vice-captain Reece, and the Blue team, led by Sarah and Jess, memorize the recipes of the dishes from executive chef Robin Wickens and head chef Dave Sutherland. They had to communicate to their teammates with instructions on replicating the dishes in 120 minutes. The decision was close and, while the balance of the Red team's main course was flat, their dessert was lauded by the guest chefs. The Blue team was praised with their main dish but their dessert's core element (the ice cream) was too soft and lacked cherry pit flavour, which sent them to elimination. | 733,000 | #8 |
24/05-5 | Thursday, 7 June 2018 | Butchery Elimination Challenge - The elimination challenge saw the contestants in two rounds set by Curtis Stone and centered on butchering. In the first round, they took turns to identify cuts of meat to avoid landing one of four places in the second round of elimination. Brendan, Chloe, Jess and Sarah were given 75 minutes to butcher and choose one cut of their beef to make a dish. Sarah's beef with corn and salsa was praised while Chloe's noodle dish impressed the judges despite mincing her beef. It came down to Jess, whose flavours in her beef salad were unbalanced, and Brendan, who served up a dish with undercooked beef. It was Brendan who departed the competition. | 838,000 | #5 |
Week 6 - South Australia Week | ||||
25/06-1 | Sunday, 10 June 2018 | South Australia Farmers' Invention Test & Victoria Square Market Stall Service Challenge - The challenges this week took place in South Australia and in the first of the two challenges at Victoria Square, contestants were given 60 minutes to prep a dish with local produce from South Australian farms. Genene, Jess, Sashi, Sarah and Khanh had the top five dishes. After Khanh advanced to the immunity challenge, the remaining contestants were divided into pairs and ran market stalls to prep a $7.50 savoury dish and a $5 sweet dish for 500 customers in three hours before service over two hours. All teams raised a total of $7,280 for SecondBite food rescue charity. The popularity of the White team's (Reece and Sashi) chicken curry dish increased as they ran out of portions for the customers. Despite this, the team raised a total of $1,370 while the Blue team (Jenny and Samira) put up the best dishes. Both teams joined Khanh to compete for immunity. The Green team (Ben and Hoda) served overcooked kofta balls while their salad let the dish down and their milk custard dessert was underwhelming. The flavours in both of the Red team's (Chloe and Genene) dishes were bland. For these reasons, both teams were sent to the Pressure Test. | 622,000 | #6 |
26/06-2 | Monday, 11 June 2018 | Pressure Test: Brendan Wessels' Lemon Meringue Pie - Ben, Chloe, Genene and Hoda arrived at the d'Arenberg Cube restaurant in McLaren Vale to recreate a lemon meringue pie by restaurateur Brendan Wessels with the use of a 3D food printer in three hours. Ben cooked with precision to interpret the dish while, despite her fennel pearls being too soft, Chloe's plate also impressed. Genene and Hoda missed the attention to detail. Hoda's dish lacked texture after excluding the crisp pearls and the feulletine for the coconut rocher but Genene's chocolate was uncaramelized while she missed out the crisp pearls, the candied ginger and the fennel garnish; lacking the significant balance in the chef's dish that left her eliminated. | 885,000 | #5 |
27/06-3 | Tuesday, 12 June 2018 | Immunity Challenge: Jin Choi - Jenny, Khanh, Reece, Samira and Sashi arrived at one of the historic houses of Mount Lofty for the first round of the immunity challenge where they took turns choosing a random cloche and guessing the ingredient. Khanh succeeded in the challenge and cooked against South Australian chef Jin Choi from Hardy's Verandah Restaurant. Khanh took the advantage to beat the chef by picking Vegemite over peanut butter to cook his chicken and Vegemite dumplings. Jin produced a lackluster risotto dish that failed to feature the core ingredient and he had the lower score of 17 points as Khanh won an immunity pin with a score of 26. | 886,000 | #5 |
28/06-4 | Wednesday, 13 June 2018 | Jacob's Creek Team Challenge - Two teams arrive at Jacob's Creek vineyard in the Barossa Valley where they had to cook a three-course meal featuring local produce from the vineyard, and grapes as the core ingredient, for 60 diners. Both Khanh's Red team and Reece's Blue team produced standout entrée dishes but the pork fillet main dish (Blue) was overcooked and the blue cheese mousse (Red) was unbalanced. Highlights were Red team's eye fillet with vegetables for main and Blue team's vineyard-inspired dessert. Both teams delivered two standout dishes and by unanimous vote, the Blue team won the challenge. | 860,000 | #5 |
29/06-5 | Thursday, 14 June 2018 | Maggie Beer's Chicken Elimination Challenge - The contestants arrived at Maggie Beer's eatery at the Barossa Valley for their last challenge in South Australia. After Khanh escaped elimination by using his immunity pin, the others competed to impress the judges and Maggie by prepping dishes using one chicken over three rounds. Lisa and Ben were safe in the 45-minute first round while Aldo succeeded in the second within 30 minutes. This left Hoda, Jenny and Jess to face the last round with 20 minutes left. Hoda's final dish won praise but Jess undercooked her chicken coating. While Jenny's chicken impressed and her corn salad was flat, none of those elements overall are cohesive, sealing her elimination. | 787,000 | #7 |
MasterClass: Callum Hann, Matt Preston, George Calombaris and Poh Ling Yeow - The contestants returned to Adelaide for their MasterClass with recipes from the judges and series runners-up Callum Hann (series 2) and Poh Ling Yeow (series 1), both of whom reside in South Australia. Callum barbecued an octopus paired with beetroot and cavolo nero, Matt baked two interpretations of mac 'n' cheese, George made a savoury take on his afternoon tea and Poh demonstrated her rhubarb and pistachio mille-feuille. | 561,000 | #10 | ||
Week 7 | ||||
30/07-1 | Sunday, 17 June 2018 | Bread Box Challenge & Re-invention Test - Contestants were given 60 minutes to make a dish with one loaf of bread as the Mystery Box ingredient. Aldo, Gina and Ben delivered the Top 3 dishes with Gina advancing to the Immunity Challenge. A re-invention test required the remaining contestants to re-create a dish with the ingredients from spaghetti bolognaise. Reece, Sashi and Khanh succeeded while Hoda, Lisa and Sarah had the least appealing dishes and were sent to elimination. | 813,000 | #6 |
31/07-2 | Monday, 18 June 2018 | Pressure Test: Alla Wolf-Tasker's Autumn Harvest - In two hours and forty-five minutes, the bottom three contestants had to recreate Alla Wolf-Tasker's Autumn-inspired duck dish. During the verdicts, Hoda's carrots were raw and Sarah forgot to plate her chestnut purée after the cook. While Lisa's presentation of the dish was too large, her plate had too much chestnut and celeriac purées, leaving the dish unbalanced which sealed her exit from the competition. | 833,000 | #8 |
32/07-3 | Tuesday, 19 June 2018 | Immunity Challenge: Andy Harmer - Gina, Khanh, Reece and Sashi faced a three-round sudden death skills challenge: dice vegetables in brunoise cut, prep a hollandaise sauce and cook a salted caramel sauce. After Reece and Gina are eliminated in the first two rounds, Sashi beat Khanh for an opportunity to face executive chef Andy Harmer from Melbourne and win a second immunity pin. Sashi's advantage was to choose one ingredient from each of two different pantries. With 75 minutes to cook a dish of lamb and peas, Sashi's dish impressed while Andy's take was also praised after 60 minutes but his lamb was slightly undercooked and he scored 24 points. For the first time in the ten-year competition, Sashi won a second immunity pin with an overall score of 27 points. | 863,000 | #5 |
33/07-4 | Wednesday, 20 June 2018 | Dandenong Ranges Team Challenge - The contestants arrived at the Dandenong Ranges for the team challenge, set by the judges and guest chef Lennox Hastie, where they had to prep a three-course meal using open-fire cooking in two hours for 60 Victorian firefighters. Hoda's Blue team was assigned to cook dishes with seafood and Ben's Red team cooked a three-course meal of meat. After service, both teams were applauded with their entrées but both had serious issues with their chocolate desserts due to their inexperience of cooking on an open flame. The Red team struggled throughout more than the Blue team as their main steak dish had technical flaws in the other elements which sent them to elimination. | 810,000 | #5 |
34/07-5 | Thursday, 21 June 2018 | World Cuisine Elimination Challenge and Second Chance Cook-Off - Aldo, Ben, Chloe, Gina, Jess and Sarah each had 45 minutes to cook a prawn dish with their assigned cuisine: French, Greek, Mexican, Spanish, Thai and Vietnamese. Jess won overall praise from the judges for her dish and she was first to be announced safe while the dishes of Sarah, Gina and Chloe also stood out. Ben, who served a disjointed prawn dish with shells and underwhelming elements, and Aldo, who served inconsistently cooked prawns with bland flavours, were named the bottom two to determine the next contestant eliminated. The judges decided Aldo's dish was least impressive. To be reinstated in the Top 12, he competed against the twelve previously eliminated contestants who had to cook a dish in one hour. Lisa, Brendan and Michelle delivered standout dishes. Ultimately, it was Brendan's poached lobster with carrot dressing and bonito bavarois that impressed the judges and he earned his place back in the competition. | 796,000 | #6 |
Week 8 - Sweet Week | ||||
35/08-1 | Sunday, 24 June 2018 | Adriano Zumbo's Mystery Box Challenge & Croquembouche Invention Test - On the first day of challenges centering on desserts, the twelve contestants were tasked to cook their dishes in 30 minutes with ingredients from the Mystery Box chosen by Adriano Zumbo. Ben, Jess, Sashi, Sarah & Reece are tasted for the Top 5. Reece and Ben are applauded and advanced to contest for immunity. The second challenge divided the contestants into pairs where they were given a task of baking their take of a mini croquembouche in two hours. The Red pair of Kristen and Chloe delivered and joined the boys for immunity. The Green team (Gina and Jess) and the Purple team (Sarah and Sashi) had technical issues with flavour, sending them to the Pressure Test. | 731,000 | #7 |
36/08-2 | Monday, 25 June 2018 | Pressure Test: Katherine Sabbath's Birthday Cake - Cake artist Katherine Sabbath was welcomed as the guest judge to introduce one of her cake designs: a raspberry white vanilla layered cake with tempered white chocolate raspberry bark as the Pressure Test dish. After Sashi used one of his immunity pins, the others had 75 minutes to recreate her cake. Sarah won praise for the baking of the cake, however, her buttercream was eggy and her chocolate was too soft. Jess thrived with the presentation of her dish albeit rushed in the spreading of her buttercream while her chocolate was undertempered. Unlike her fellow competitors' cakes, Gina's was underbaked and the presentation did not match Katherine's which saw her eliminated. | 889,000 | #6 |
37/08-3 | Tuesday, 26 June 2018 | Immunity Challenge: Alice Wright - Ben, Chloe, Kristen and Reece took turns naming one of 36 flavours of gelato where a lone contestant would advance to compete in the second round of the Immunity Challenge. Kristen succeeded to compete against pastry chef Alice Wright and, from a neapolitan ice cream, chose chocolate (over strawberry and vanilla) to cook her dessert in 75 minutes. During the tasting, Alice had technical errors in her dish despite winning praise for the flavours but Kristen had technical issues in her mousse as it was overpowered with the other flavours. As both of their desserts were flawed, Kristen was not awarded a pin after the result ended in a tie on 18 points with the professional. | 938,000 | #5 |
38/08-4 | Wednesday, 27 June 2018 | Restaurant Takeover Team Challenge - Executive chef Adam D'Sylva was the contestants' mentor for a lunch service challenge at his two Melbourne restaurants, Coda (Vietnamese cuisine) and Tonka (Indian cuisine) where they had to prep and serve a four-course meal (two sweet main courses and two savoury desserts) in four hours. The Blue Team served 40 customers at Coda while the Red team served 48 customers at Tonka. During prep time, Brendan's Red Team had a shaky start in prepping their main course dishes while Sarah's Blue Team struggled with their kingfish dish when the grill was too hot. After service, both teams missed the brief in two of their dishes and it was the Red Team's undercooked cauliflower dish and flat dessert samosas which sent them to elimination. | 847,000 | #5 |
39/08-5 | Thursday, 28 June 2018 | Chocolate Wheel Elimination Challenge - Ben, Brendan, Chloe, Hoda, Khanh and Samira each had to spin an edible game wheel made out of chocolate by Kirsten Tibballs to determine their assigned ingredient (almond, banana, cinnamon, coconut, lemon or peppermint) to cook a dessert in 75 minutes. Brendan and Khanh, who both had cinnamon as their core ingredient, delivered the top two dishes while Samira (who had banana) and Chloe (with almond) also impressed. All four of them made it into the Top 10. Ben's jam for his lamington was too thick but it was Hoda's unnecessary use of cinnamon which overpowered her dense cake batter that sent her home. | 786,000 | #5 |
Week 9 - Royal Week | ||||
40/09-1 | Sunday, 1 July 2018 | Mystery Box Challenge & Royalty Cooking Challenge - For making it into the Top 10, the contestants each received $10,000 from Coles to develop their food career. In 60 minutes, the contestants had to use all of the ingredients from the Mystery Box (kalette, lemon, yoghurt, coriander seeds, extra virgin olive oil, gin and mint) to make a dish. Samira, Khanh and Kristen had the top dishes and Khanh won for the second time to compete for immunity. The others had to cook a dish fit for a king in 60 minutes. Samira and Kristen won out to compete for immunity along with Brendan as the Top 3 but Chloe, Sarah and Jess had technical flaws in flavour and were named as the Bottom 3. | 718,000 | #6 |
41/09-2 | Monday, 2 July 2018 | Pressure Test: Saransh Goila's Butter Chicken - With 150 minutes for the cook, Chloe, Jess and Sarah had to re-create a tandoori chicken in a butter sauce with coriander mint chutney, pickled onions and roomali bread by guest chef Saransh Goila. After Chloe was pronounced safe, Jess and Sarah missed the flavour palate of Saransh's dish. However, when the latter strayed in her recipe by grilling her chicken with the skin on, it left an unpleasant texture and charred bitterness to the dish. This was enough to eliminate Sarah. | 873,000 | #5 |
42/09-3 | Tuesday, 3 July 2018 | Immunity Challenge: Ashley Davis - Brendan, Khanh, Kristen and Samira were given an open pantry to pick only five ingredients to cook a dish without staples in the ten-minute first round. Khanh won the opportunity to compete against two-Michelin-star chef Ashley Davis in the second round. Between the two pantries, he was given the opportunity to select a 15-minute head start by picking the first pantry or losing the time advantage by choosing the second pantry also, and cooking with the chef in 60 minutes. Khanh risked the challenge by choosing both pantries to cook his duck breast with persimmon and ginger sauce. The dish scored 25 points but he lost to Ashley's dish of John Dory and abalone with autumn vegetables that scored 27 points. | 848,000 | #6 |
43/09-4 | Wednesday, 4 July 2018 | Royal Reception Catering Team Challenge - The Top 9 arrive at Darwin and are divided into teams of three to take charge of prepping 450 canapés (gluten-free, halal, savoury and vegetarian) with native Australian ingredients and local produce to cater a Royal reception for Prince Charles, his wife Camilla and 150 guests in three-and-a-half hours. During prep time, the White team struggled under Kristen's orders with their wattleseed baguettes and duck tarts lacking an accompaniment while the Blue team also fell behind with their zucchini canapés and lamb canapés. Despite having wasted their prep time making wallaby tartare for their canapés, the Red team's menu stood out in the tasting and won the challenge, sending the other two teams to elimination. | 920,000 | #5 |
44/09-5 | Thursday, 5 July 2018 | Nitmiluk National Park Elimination Challenge - The contestants arrive at the Nitmiluk National Park and Sashi used his last immunity pin to avoid the Elimination Challenge. Ben, Brendan, Jess, Kristen and Samira had 75 minutes to cook a dish inspired by their photographs of the surrounding scenery. Brendan prepped a fish dish with confit leeks and sea herbs, Jess made an inconsistently-cooked pork belly dish with apple purée and muntries, Kristen made a buttermilk-set custard with rosella consommé and peppermint gum oil, Samira cooked kangaroo fillets and crisps with smoked eggplant purée, and Ben cooked a barramundi cod paired with a lemon beurre blanc. After three of them were declared safe, Brendan and Jess faced the judges' verdict. Brendan had once again undercooked his dish and that was enough to send him home from the competition. | 738,000 | #5 |
Week 10 - Superpower Week | ||||
45/10-1 | Sunday, 8 July 2018 | Mini Box Challenge & Condiment Invention Test - The remaining contestants faced five consecutive challenges where losing contestants would be sent to elimination at the end of the week. To celebrate the tenth season, the surviving contestant would receive a special advantage after the last challenge. The first challenge was a Mystery Box where each contestant received a different single ingredient to cook three servings for the judges in 60 minutes. The bottom two was between Chloe (with inconsistently cooked duck) and Ben (with an overall dish of flat elements and underwhelming sauce) with the latter being the first contestant through to the elimination round. In the second challenge, the others had 75 minutes to make a dish that featured either oil, salt or pepper. While Khanh's dish was disjointed, Kristen lacked an accompaniment to counteract her dish and she became the second contestant to face elimination. | 748,000 | #5 |
46/10-2 | Monday, 9 July 2018 | TV Dinner Re-invention Cook-off - The six remaining contestants competed in the third challenge where three of the six picked their choice of the three frozen dinner meals to pit against their rivals and re-invent the dish in 75 minutes. Sashi picked fish 'n' chips to pit against Khanh, Chloe cooked against Jess with beef and three vegetables, and Samira chose the chicken meal to face Reece. They succeeded in beating their competitors to advance for tomorrow's next challenge. | 830,000 | #7 |
47/10-3 | Tuesday, 10 July 2018 | Time or Ingredients Cook-off - Chloe, Samira and Sashi had to gather their ingredients from up to four different hidden pantries, with one pantry being revealed every 15 minutes. Samira and Sashi selected dairy and canned food with 60 minutes left while Chloe waited for root vegetables and cooked in 45 minutes. Sashi's third dessert dish won praise from the judges, Chloe's beetroot salad was too simple with less ingredients after struggling in the cook but Samira's choice of one of her selected cheeses (gorgonzola) and anchovies clashed on the overall tasting which made her the sixth contestant to be sent to elimination. | 821,000 | #7 |
48/10-4 | Wednesday, 11 July 2018 | Panama Dining Room Service Challenge - Chloe and Sashi at the Panama Dining Room in Melbourne to cook a two-course meal for 30 customers under mentorship from Gary. For the main course, Sashi had to cook seafood while Chloe was assigned meat. After service, Chloe and Sashi had noticeable flaws in their dishes but Sashi struggled further in the prep time as he left an errant scale and bone in two of his fish dishes while his dessert had technical issues. This was enough to put him in the last spot for tomorrow's elimination round. For surviving all the challenges, Chloe was awarded the 10-Year Superpower Apron that grants her immunity from the judging in a future elimination challenge, right up to the tasting stage. | 747,000 | #8 |
49/10-5 | Thursday, 12 July 2018 | Pressure Test: Peter Gilmore's Snow Egg - The losing contestants from each challenge, except Reece who used his immunity pin, had to recreate three servings of Peter Gilmore's Snow Egg from season 2 in two-and-a-half hours and plate the dish in ten minutes. Jess produced a faultless replication of the dish, and was declared safe along with Ben and Khanh who also impressed. The bottom three had technical errors with each of their elements: Samira's custard lacked guava purée, Kristen's cream was grainy while her granita melted away after adding too much sugar in the mixture which made it too sweet, and Sashi's meringue was grainy. Consequently, Kristen's granita affected the balance of Peter's Snow Egg and was enough to seal her elimination. | 736,000 | #5 |
MasterClass: Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris, Matt Preston and Peter Gilmore - The judges presented their dishes to the contestants: Gary's venison and mushroom ravioli, George's crocodile avgolemono and Matt's crusted lamb shoulder with beetroot salad, while Peter presented his smoked pig jowl. | 486,000 | #12 | ||
Week 11 | ||||
50/11-1 | Sunday, 15 July 2018 | Family Box Challenge & Vue De Monde Invention Test - The seven contestants received their ingredients in the Mystery Box from relatives or friends to cook their dishes. Sashi won the challenge over Jess and Reece to compete for a fast-track to Finals Week. With 75 minutes in the Invention Test set by Shannon Bennett, the others were tasked to make a dish that would feature in the degustation courses of his restaurant Vue De Monde. Chloe decided to use the 10-Year apron to skip the judging. Khanh beat Reece to go against Sashi for a place in the Finals as Ben, Jess and Samira were sent to the Pressure Test. | 745,000 | #5 |
51/11-2 | Monday, 16 July 2018 | Cryptic Pressure Test: Joe Grbac's Imperial Mandarin - Ben, Jess and Samira had to decipher Matt Preston's critic's review of the guest chef's dish to recreate it in three hours. The dish was Joe Grbac's yoghurt panna cotta and almond sponge with seven mandarin elements. All three succeeded with their dishes but Ben's panna cotta split and his jellies dissolved on the plate, forcing him to improvise before judging. Samira also struggled with both her panna cotta and custard didn't set after the cook despite having all her elements in the plate. Ultimately, the judges were unanimous and decide to eliminate her from the competition. | 815,000 | #8 |
52/11-3 | Tuesday, 17 July 2018 | Fast-Track to Finals Immunity Challenge: Reynold Poernomo and Matt Sinclair – Sashi and Khanh battled in the first round where they had an open pantry from the garden to make a dish. Khanh succeeded as he selected between the two pantries to face off against one of the two former contestants for an entry to the Finals: the savoury pantry against series 8 runner-up Matt Sinclair and the dessert pantry with Reynold Poernomo (from series 7) as his opponent. Khanh chose the savoury pantry and cooked a red emperor with mushroom and radish but lost to the creativity of Matt's Thai sausage with squid and curry that scored the perfect 30 points to Khanh's 24. | 821,000 | #6 |
53/11-4 | Wednesday, 18 July 2018 | SecondBite's Six-Course Degustation Challenge – The six contestants took responsibility of a six-course vegetarian degustation menu, supervised by George, at Melbourne's Luminare to raise funds for SecondBite, The winning dish would advance the contestant into the Finals. Chloe got the first course to highlight cucumber with smoked labneh. Khanh made a charred broccolini dish with a capsicum and cashew purée for course 2. Ben's course 3 dish was a celeriac fondant with dates. Jess featured mushrooms paired with eggplant and miso for the fourth course. For course 5, Sashi made a dessert of apples with cinnamon ice cream. Reece presented the last course of blackberry mousse with olives and tarragon. After service, the contestants raise $6,780 for the charity, with the judges matching the amount to $13,580. Out of the six, Chloe, Khanh and Sashi had the standout dishes and the latter won the pass to Finals Week. | 863,000 | #5 |
54/11-5 | Thursday, 19 July 2018 | Sudden Death Elimination Challenge – Ben, Chloe, Jess, Khanh and Reece competed in three rounds for places in the Finals. The first round was to identify the ingredients of Gary Mehigan's Moroccan tajine where Chloe and Khanh succeeded to advance. The next round was the one-inch cube challenge from season 8 where they had to identify each cube of ingredient while blind-folded. Ben survived the second round, leaving Jess and Reece to cook-off in the final round with 60 minutes each and all the correctly-identified ingredients from the first two rounds. Jess received praise with the combination of sweet and savoury in her dessert. While Reece's dish was complex and tasty, it was too greasy. That was enough to eliminate him from the competition. | 852,000 | #5 |
MasterClass: George Calombaris, Matt Preston, Gary Mehigan and Curtis Stone - George cooked two versions of his Greek souvlaki, Matt made his vegetarian-style nachos and Gary braised his chicken paired with his spring onion pancakes.

Ben succeeded with his Pineapple Glazed Pork Ribs for an opportunity to compete for an advantage in the Finals Service Challenge. In the 75-minute Invention Test, the remaining finalists chose to cook desserts.

56/12-2 | Monday, 23 July 2018 | Pressure Test: Ashley Palmer-Watts' Sherried Marron - Chloe, Jess and Sashi had to follow 90 steps of the recipe to replicate a marron dish by Ashley Palmer-Watts in four hours and forty-five minutes. The plate was composed of a grilled marron tail, marron tartare, smoked cauliflower, pickled daikon, marinated smoked shiitake mushrooms, pickled mushrooms, pickled dulse, sea vegetables and a sherry mushroom stock. During the tasting, Jess stood out with her take of the dish. That left Sashi and Chloe who won praise with their consommés but both had technical flaws in the tartare. While Sashi's lacked finesse, Chloe's was mushy and lacked balance which sealed her elimination. | 918,000 | #5 |

The first round was Ben and Jess making their dishes describing Winter while Khanh and Sashi cook their Summer-themed dishes. In the second round to cook a dish representing Autumn in 60 minutes, Ben's Seared Coral Trout with Ginger Carrot Purée and Parsley Vinaigrette beat Sashi's Lamb Curry with Smoked Cauliflower to win.

58/12-4 | Wednesday, 25 July 2018 | Icebergs Dining Room Service Challenge – The finalists were tasked to cook their dishes in two-and a-half hours inspired by the Italian menu from the Icebergs Restaurant, under mentorship by executive chef Monty Koludrovic, to be served to the judges and 30 diners. Ben, who won the advantage yesterday, selected the fish course while the others were assigned the remaining course dishes: Sashi (with pasta), Jess (the meat course) and Khanh (for dessert). All of the dishes, except Sashi's pasta course, impressed the judges and between the three of them, they decided to vote Khanh's fig dessert to advance to the semi-finals. | 906,000 | #5 |
59/12-5 | Sunday, 29 July 2018 | World Class Service Elimination Challenge - Ben, Jess and Sashi each had 90 minutes to cook their dishes to be served for the judges and four Australian chefs: Danielle Alvarez of Fred's, The Bridge Room's Ross Lusted, Jock Zonfrillo from Orana and returning chef Lennox Hastie. Ben's Seared Coral Trout and Steamed Whiting with Crab Bisque delivered high acclaim and made it into the semi-finals which left Sashi and Jess for the final verdict. Sashi's Singaporean chicken rice received mixed reviews for the chicken despite winning praise for the flavour. The judges and chefs thought Jess impressed with her black sesame ice cream and yuzu curd but her praline cream and macerated raspberries derailed the overall flavour of her dish. Those factors were enough to see Jess eliminated from the competition. | 872,000 | #5 |

Grand Finale Week | ||||
60/13-1 | Monday, 30 July 2018 | Semi-Finals: Service Challenge – In the four-hour service challenge, the semifinalists prep a two-course meal (main and dessert) to be served for the judges and 60 MasterChef alumni from past seasons as the guests. Sashi made his Chicken Lemak with Jasmine Rice and the judges once again criticised his carving of the protein but applauded his Malaysian Pineapple Tart with Lime Ice Cream. Ben elevated his take of his menu: a Surf n' Turf main and an intricate Pavlova with Berry Gelato and Champagne Foam which received overall praise and he was first through to the Finale. Khanh relied on his heritage and inspiration from his family to cook his traditional Canh Chua Ca and after attempting to improvise before service, the dish receive praise but it was less impressive from two of the judges. His chocolate mousse was too heavy as it impacted the texture of his dessert, and ultimately with both errors in the menu at this stage of the competition, that's enough to send him home. | 961,000 | #5 |
61/13-2 | Tuesday, 31 July 2018 | Grand Finale - The tenth-season finale consisted of only two rounds (instead of the usual three) with Ben and Sashi cooking their entrée and main in the first round. They had to highlight their dishes with the given ingredients in two hours. After the round, both of Ben's dishes didn't meet the standards in the judging – his crab with finger limes and avocado cream lacked texture and his coating for his deep-fried whiting with peas and garlic sauce was undercooked as he scored 20 points for his entrée as it lacked crunchiness and 21 points for the main as it was deemed too simple. Sashi stood out with his sambal prawns that received a perfect score and his fish curry scored 27 points (9 each). His total score was 57 points to Ben's 41. In the final round, they had to replicate an intricate dessert composed of 19 elements (yoghurt snow, steamed vanilla sponge, coconut ice cream, meringue, etc.) by Heston Blumenthal in five-and-a-half hours. The challenge was even for both of the finalists after struggling with one of their elements before completing the dish. In the tasting, both Sashi and Ben scored 36 points from all the judges. Based on the final results, Ben's overall score was 77 while Sashi won with the overall total of 93 points. | 1,126,000 | #3 |
