Contestants compete in the Quarter Final challenge using ingredients chosen by loved ones, cooking off for a place in the Semi Final.

The bottom three contestants face-off in the elimination pressure test; they must recreate two of guest chef Ross Lusted's signature dishes in two hours.

The cooks compete in the first Service Challenge of the season. Two teams, aided by mentors Matt Sinclair and Sashi Cheliah, must cook an entrée and a main course dish for 30 diners.

After being split into teams, the contestants cook a three-course meal for 30 guests from two Melbourne restaurants.

Former contestants return to the MasterChef kitchen for the chance to win themselves a place back in the competition.

A féte in Negella Lawson's name is held and the contestants are split off into three teams. The teams must prepare one savoury dish and two sweet dishes to sell, with all proceeds donated to the Royal Children's Hospital.
