Knockout week continues with 12 remaining chefs vying to become semi-finalists at the end of the week. Over the next two nights the heat intensifies as they are split into two groups and get their first taste of a professional kitchen when they have to run an entire lunchtime service.

Tonight, the first group head to the Frog in London’s Covent Garden, flagship restaurant of MasterChef: The Professionals 2013 finalist Adam Handling. During a busy lunch service, the six amateur cooks will be entirely responsible for serving the restaurant’s menu to paying customers. Who will buckle under the intense pressure as they cook in a demanding and totally new environment?

Then, it’s back to MasterChef HQ for an Invention Test with John and Gregg. In a bid to stay in the competition, each cook has to show they have learned from their experience and can create a unique and outstanding dish worthy of gracing the table of a professional restaurant.
