This season, contestants compete in teams in the ultimate David vs Goliath battle. In the first challenge, they must cook a dish which recognises their strengths.

The two teams must use the MasterChef food pyramid as their pantry - with different layers for fruits, grains, proteins, and sweets.

On day two, the room is set up for a massive service challenge. One team are at a clear advantage, with most of them well-versed in operating in commercial kitchens.

The contestants have a good old-fashioned lucky dip, where each row of cloches has a different theme - fruit & vegetables, herbs & spices, pantry items, and a curve cloche.

The final two contestants must impress both the judges and chef Heston Blumenthal across the course of two scored rounds. The chef who prepares the best dishes will be crowned MasterChef 2022.

The first elimination of the competition sees contestants in a two round challenge, where the maker of the best jaffle in round one is safe, but the maker of the least impressive dish that changed their life in round two will be sent home.
