Michael, Hayden, Kate and Peter faced a three-round elimination challenge, featuring Vietnamese paper rolls, rib-eye steaks, and apple pies.

The top 12 contestants are asked to prepare lunch for 200 farmers and their families. They are under the restrictions of an outdoor fire and with lamb as their only protein.

The contestants are tasked with recreating a salt-crusted guinea fowl with a mushroom duxelle and a thyme jus.

The teams' next challenge is to prepare a three-course lunch service at the Merivale Felix restaurant in Sydney.

The contestants are given an open pantry challenge to demonstrate what skills they have learnt from the competition so far.

Special guest David Chang challenges the contestants with a mystery box containing several exotic Korean ingredients.
