In the skills test, the chefs make a buck rarebit and joint a rabbit.

A search for the country's next culinary superstar. Six new chefs begin their bid for the title. In the skills test, the first three chefs have 15 minutes to make a buck rarebit.

Six new chefs begin their bid for the coveted Professional MasterChef title as they take on two challenges set by the judges. In the infamous skills test, and then with a dish of their own choosing, they must prove to Monica, Marcus and Gregg that they have the talent, flair and commitment to reach the top. Only the strongest three chefs will go through to the quarter-finals.

The first three chefs begin with a skills test set by Marcus. They have 15 minutes to make a buck rarebit - a Welsh rarebit with a fried egg on top. The test may seem simple but only the best cheese sauce and perfect fried egg will meet the exacting standards of the three MasterChef judges scrutinising their every move.

The remaining three chefs must complete a skills test set by Monica, who examines their butchery skills by asking them to joint a whole rabbit and prepare it for cooking. With 15 minutes on the clock and the three judges watching intensely, the chefs must keep a steady hand and respect the delicate ingredient if they want to prove they have the skills needed to continue in the competition.

In the final challenge, the six chefs come together in the MasterChef kitchen to cook their own signature dish. A tried and tested recipe of their own design, this is their last chance to either redeem themselves or continue to impress in an hour and 15 minutes of career-defining cooking. At the end of the test, the judges will decide which three chefs will be sent home. Only the best three chefs will be put through to the quarter-finals and continue in the battle to be crowned Professional MasterChef Champion 2015.
