Ep 18. Episode 18

In Episode 18 of MasterChef Australia season 11, the remaining contestants face their toughest challenge yet as they take on a pressure test set by none other than acclaimed chef and restaurateur, Jock Zonfrillo.

The pressure test involves recreating Jock's signature dish, 'The Flintstones', which is a complex dish featuring a variety of ingredients and techniques. The contestants are given three hours to recreate the dish to perfection, and Jock is on hand to offer advice and guidance throughout the challenge.

As the contestants begin to tackle the pressure test, tensions are high and the pressure is palpable. Every mistake could mean the difference between staying in the competition or going home. The contestants must focus on every detail, from the presentation of the dish to the flavors and textures of each component.

As the clock ticks down, the judges taste each dish one by one, offering feedback and critiques along the way. Some dishes impress, while others fall short of the mark. The judges must ultimately decide which contestants have done enough to stay in the competition and which ones will be sent home.

But the challenges don't end there. In a second challenge, the contestants face a mystery box challenge that tasks them with creating a dish using only ingredients found in the mystery box. The catch? They can only use five ingredients in their dish.

The contestants scramble to come up with creative and innovative recipes that showcase the few ingredients they have at their disposal. As the clock ticks down, they plate up their dishes and await judgment from the judges.

In the end, only a select few contestants will make it through to the next round, while others will have to say goodbye to their MasterChef dream. As the competition heats up, the stakes get higher, and the challenges get tougher, the remaining contestants must continue to push themselves to new heights if they hope to be crowned the next MasterChef Australia.
