Ep 11. Kids Week Day 2: Immunity Challenge

In MasterChef Australia season 5 episode 11, the competition heats up as the second day of Kids Week kicks off with an Immunity Challenge. The contestants are divided into two teams – the blue team and the red team – and must battle it out in a series of challenges to earn immunity from the next elimination.

The first challenge of the day sees the teams tasked with creating a dish using only five ingredients. The catch? One of those ingredients must be a whole chicken, and they have just 30 minutes to complete the dish. The red team opts for a roast chicken with potatoes and carrots, while the blue team chooses to make a chicken stir-fry with rice.

Next up is the mystery box challenge, which sees the contestants presented with a box full of surprise ingredients. This week's mystery box has a distinctly Italian theme, with ingredients like prosciutto, ricotta cheese, and artichokes. The contestants must use at least three of the ingredients to create a dish that showcases their creativity and culinary skills.

The dishes produced by the blue and red teams are both impressive, but it is the blue team's pumpkin and ricotta agnolotti with crispy prosciutto that wins over the judges. This means the blue team has earned immunity from the next elimination, and the red team will now face a Pressure Test.

For the Pressure Test, the red team must recreate a notoriously difficult dish: Adriano Zumbo's V8 cake. The cake features eight different flavors and textures, including vanilla crème brûlée, raspberry jelly, and hazelnut dacquoise. The red team struggles with the complexity of the dish, but ultimately manages to produce some impressive results.

In the end, the judges must choose one contestant from the red team to go home. The decision is a difficult one, as all of the contestants have shown great skill and dedication throughout the competition. But in the end, only one can be chosen to leave the MasterChef kitchen.

Overall, the second day of Kids Week on MasterChef Australia season 5 is full of excitement, creativity, and intense culinary challenges. The contestants are pushed to their limits as they battle for immunity and survival in the competition, and the judges are impressed with the talent and dedication on display. Fans of the show are sure to be thrilled by the twists and turns of this exciting episode.
