The contestants begin the show with a mystery box competition, and a professional chef joins in on the competition to show the amateur chefs what is expected of a Masterchef. The winner of the mystery box is then taken to the pantry and shown the theme of this episodes elimination challenge. The contestants will be required to cook a meal using either a cooking stone, a wok, or a deep fat fryer. As usual the winner of the mystery box challenge is given an advantage over her competitors, the option of picking which cooking utensil she will use and which one her competitors will have to cook with.
