If you’re looking for the same brand of spectacle that all Masterchef fans crave for,
you certainly won’t be disappointed. Let’s get started on the Top 10 Masterchef Worst
Dishes of Season 4.
Sasha’s Langoustine
When the judges thin out the herd, only the strongest survive! Episode 4 is the first
show right after the audition. One chef will have to say goodbye to a shot at the Masterchef
title, a quarter of a million dollars, and the chance to publish a cookbook! Stepping
into the Masterchef kitchen is like stepping into a candy store! Now all they need to do
is beat every other cook in the room! The first challenge was the proverbial mystery
box. The challenge was to prepare, cook, and present a dish using only the ingredients
hidden under those boxes. With that challenge out of the way, the next trial was to cook
something more complicated. Langoustines are also known as Norway lobsters and are essentially
small lobsters – one of the finer seafood ingredients money can buy. Unfortunately,
not everyone was cut out to cook langoustine. The combination was all wrong. What a waste!
Savannah’s Cheesecake
The dreaded pressure test was designed for one home cook to get the boot. The previous
challenge required the teams to feed a two-dish healthy meal to over three hundred students
at Emperor Elementary School. But the Blue team fell short. For this episode, the judges
tested the contestants’ baking abilities by having them create the classic cheesecake
in just 1 ½ hours! Cheesecake is an American classic – the perfect balance between flavor
and texture. Krissy’s Cheesecake looked pretty good if we’re to be honest. It certainly
impressed Joe. Savannah tearfully presented hers. Looks uhm well okay. What did the judges
have to say about it? Joe, on the other hand, didn’t have nicer things to say either.
Beth’s Eggs Benedict
Episode seven’s pressure test was the Red Team’s turn in the hot seat. One dish that
always determined fates in Masterchef is also one of the most technically difficult: Eggs
Benedict is a perfectly poached egg sitting upon a slice of bacon, perched on a hot, crispy
buttered English muffin, and smothered in rich Hollandaise sauce. It looked like the
contestants all did their homework and practiced how to make poached eggs in the comforts of
their own kitchen. Joe made this pressure test even more exciting by saying Natasha
was confident. The rest were just working at a frantic pace. With eleven minutes on
the clock. We wouldn’t say that Beth’s eggs benedict were the worst but we don’t
think the judges would agree with us.
Stuffed Pasta
With Eddie winning the mystery box challenge with, he had the distinct opportunity of immunity
and be in control of the elimination test. The first one is. The second dish was Mezza
Luna, a favorite of Chef Graham’s. Last but not least was Chef Gordon’s choice – a
mozzarella stuffed pasta with a delicious tomato sauce. Eddie’s choice was the most
difficult -- agnolotti! To give everyone a leg up, the judges gave a demonstration. But
it wasn’t just a demonstration, it was a demonstration from one of the best. Eddie
got to eliminate who he thought was his competition by picking two contestants who would be forbidden
to watch the demo. He picked Lynn and James, but it wasn’t Lynn and James who get the
boot. It was Howard! Classics are basics. Joe didn’t understand why Howard had such
a cavalier attitude.
Lemon Meringue Pie Without the Lemon
The remaining home cooks found themselves at the Paramount Studios for this episode.
The exciting behind-the-scenes team challenge was to cook for the cast and crew of Glee!
The Red Team beat the Blue team 90 to 37. So this put the Blue team on the much-dreaded
pressure test! The pressure test had Krissi playing THE game! The dish that would determine
their Masterchef future was. The secret is in the base, a nice firm pastry, and a delicious,
acidic, lemon curd with oh-so-perfect baked meringue. Now as if that wasn’t hard enough,
Joe just had to add another twist! With 90 minutes to make crust, curd, and meringue,
how did our home chefs fare? James was the first on the hot seat. Chef Graham found Jordan’s
version okay. Bethy was saved by Bime’s liquid pie! In a last act mockery, that was
signature Ramsay, Bime just had to be sent home.
Un-crabby Crab Cakes
This episode’s elimination challenge revolved around the favorite ingredients of Masterchef
Season 3 winner, Christine Ha. Lynn could pick the ingredient that one particular contestant
would cook with, and choose another that all the rest would cook with. So he chose Krissi
to cook catfish. But before everyone would start, Christine Ha, had one more surprise.
This was a game changer! It was a sight to see and the judges had a few good laughs!
Everyone was just so relieved. But now the hard work would begin. Krissi proved to be
the expert with catfish at the start but Joe thought she was playing it safe. But the worst
dish wasn’t hers - it was Beth’s Mascarpone Crab Cake with grilled peach and avocado salsa.
Beth knew that it was her time to turn her apron in.
Disastrous Macarons
The 12th episode had the teams preparing a meal for a wedding. The competitors had their
challenge set for them from the get-go. The winner of the challenge was the Red Team,
leaving the Blue Team for the pressure test. For the pressure test, the home cooks of the
Blue Team were challenged to make a box of macarons. With two home cooks in the kitchen,
it was the culinary battle of their lives! Lynn’s macarons tasted okay. His instant
dulce de leche made it past Joe. Johnny’s, however, was bordering on disaster. It certainly
didn’t look as good as it tasted! But the journey had to end for Johnny at this
point - even if Joe’s restaurateur taste buds liked how it tasted.
Szechuan Mushroom
Nine home cooks were now competing for the Masterchef title and it was as vicious as
ever. This episode’s elimination challenge involved three ingredients that the judges
use in their restaurants all the time: Eddie, the winner of the last challenge, chose mushrooms
thinking that it was a challenge to work with. An advantage given to Eddie was to choose
who among his fellow home chefs would cook with the fresh and canned mushrooms. Who got
the canned mushrooms? Eddie’s bigger competitors. But it seems that in spite of her advantage,
Bethy still ran into trouble. Bethy’s dish was a Szechuan Noodle dish with wild mushrooms.
And as for Chef Gordon Ramsay. The dish was not what they expected at this stage of the
competition. Bethy had to go home.
Sushi Team Challenge
With Luca emerging as the winner of this episode’s challenge, he had the advantage of immunity
for the elimination challenge. The theme? Luca now had the benefit of having his teammates
replicate this dish of Japanese cuisine favorites. James and Jordan. Natasha and Krissi. Jessie
and Eddie. But the twist here was. while they were a team, they wouldn’t be working side
by side. The biggest challenge of this episode was the delicate live sea urchins. The expectations
were just as high as the stakes! But Eddie and Jessie were walking on eggshells. In the
end, Eddie had to go home, but Chef Gordon Ramsay had such nice parting words.
Chocolate Molten Lava Cake
With just Luca, Natasha, Krissi and Jessie, the judges had them make a classic three-course
menu with appetizer, entrée, and dessert! The winner for the Mystery Box challenge was
Natasha and Luca. The Red Team now had to go through the life-altering pressure test,
and the contestants were no longer diplomatic about anything! Chef Graham’s Chocolate
Mousse was pure, edible decadence. Joe’s chocolate molten cake had always been a Masterchef
classic. Chef Gordon’s was, of course, a chocolate souffle! Three stunning chocolate
desserts in 75 minutes was really the stuff meant for chefs of steel. Krissi had the flavor
but Jessie had great technique, and as Chef Graham put it, she was the queen of time management.
The moment of truth! The souffle belonged to Jessie. The chocolate mousse belonged to
Krissi. Who gets the chocolate molten lava cake? Both of them didn’t quite hit the
mark! But they chose?
