In the second heat of the week, six more chefs, determined to prove their culinary artistry, head into the MasterChef kitchen to show the judges they have what it takes to be this year’s champion.

To begin their fight for the coveted title, the chefs face the dreaded skills test. Three chefs face what could be the toughest 20 minutes of their careers, set by Marcus. Under the scrutiny of the three judges, the professionals are reliant on their fish-filleting skills and sauce prowess when they have to cook a monkfish with vermouth sauce for the expectant panel. 

The next three into the MasterChef kitchen have to conquer any nerves when they are asked by Monica to conjure up a crepe souffle with a caramel sauce. Can their souffles and skills rise to the expectations of the judges or will they simply come unstuck?
 
Next, the six chefs must complete the signature dish round. It’s their chance to showcase their cooking style and creativity using their very own recipes. Everything is riding on how they perform under the intense pressure of this task. The strength of their dish will either see them through or find them leaving the competition. The surviving three chefs move on to battle it out to the quarter-final.
