MasterChef 2014 Recap: Week 6 – Return Of The Champions!

It looks like the home cooks on MasterChef 2014 will get a chance to learn from some of the best, as Season 4 winner Luca Manfe and MasterChef Junior winner Alexander Weiss return to the MasterChef Kitchen to lead them through the Elimination Test tonight on Master Chef 2014! This should be fun to watch and a chance for the MasterChef Season 5 contestants to get some pointers from the champions! Will it work in their favor or hurt them though? Find out during our MasterChef 2014 Recap and see who went home on MasterChef 2014 tonight!

Last week on MasterChef 2014 Season 5, the home cooks were put in charge of cooking for a wedding! There may have been love in the air, but then teams were definitely not feeling the love for each other! Leslie has no leadership skills and his team was sunk before the challenge even started! In the Pressure Test, Leslie, Jordan and Francis B. had to cook the perfect steak and fries! Jordan is young and seemed to lack the confidence that the other contestants had, which led to his elimination!

Here we go…

MYSTERY BOX CHALLENGE: Under the box tonight are tins cans of food. However, none of the cans are labeled! They each have 52 cans of food of identical foods in front of them. They must cook an amazing dish in 60 minutes and have limited access to the pantry as well! The time starts and the opening of cans begins! Jaimee has opened a ton of cans and has no idea what she is doing! A lot of the home cooks are not opening all the cans and going with what they have. The time runs out and time for the judges to taste them!

JUDGING: The judges have tasted and walked around over the 60 minutes and now will taste three of them. Up first is Elizabeth. Gordon said it has that intriguing taste and it looks great and struggles that it came out of a can. Graham said he loves the heat that comes with it and the saltiness of the ham. Joe said it has a goo depth of flavor. The second dish comes from Victoria. Graham said it is really good and all the flavors going on, but fritters are kind of dense. Gordon said it delivers a punch of flavor and good job. The final dish comes from Ahran. Joe said this is the smartest dish out of the Mystery Box today and this is brilliant. Gordon said it is delicious, but maybe a little more color to it. She has the biggest set of balls on MasterChef 2014!

RESULTS: The judges discuss and the winner of the Mystery Box Challenge is Elizabeth!

ELIMINATION TEST: Elizabeth heads back to the pantry with the judges. They are joined by MasterChef winners Luca and Andrew. They each bring a dish with them. For winning, Elizabeth will not be cooking tonight and she will be choosing what dish each home cook will be cooking! Luca made a veal dish and Andrew made a Passion Fruit Panna Cotta. Elizabeth picks Cutter, Christian, Jaimee, Christine, Ahren, Francis B., Victoria and Tyler for Andrew’s dish. The remaining home cooks will be making Luca’s dish. They each get to taste the dishes and now have 60 minutes to recreate the dish!

Willie is cooking his dish and he is searing the veal and then going to wrap in the pancetta and bake it. This is not Luca did it, but Willie feels this is past! Andrew thinks that Jaimee and Tyler are doing well with their dishes so far. Cutter has never made or eaten Panna Cotta. Jaimee made three bowls of Panna Cotta, but someone took her third one or tried to sabotage her! She gets something, but the two she has are kind of runny. The times runs out and dishes are ready for tasting.

COURTNEY: Gordon said the dish looks beautiful. He said she cooks with confidence and she has her mojo back. Graham said by sight alone it is right there with Luca’s.

WILLIE: Gordon has an issue with him cooking the veal twice and it being dry. The sauce is great, but the veal is dry and it looks like he has one foot out the door tonight.

CHRISTIAN: He is not happy with his dish and knows he could have done better. Graham said there is too much gelatin and so firm and the worst thing he has given them.

CUTTER: Joe said the Panna Cotta is quite good and the consistency is right and good job.

JAIMEE: She has slush on the plate. She said it is the first time in six years that it did not set for her. Graham said it is like a really good pudding. The flavor is great though and see if someone did worse then her.

TYLER: Chef Ramsay said for the first time on MasterChef, someone has brought up a dish they did not cook! He goes back to the fridge and brings up the bowls that Tyler had made! He said he did not know and Chef Ramsay believes him and thinks he was panicked and grabbed the wrong bowl.

RESULTS: The judges discuss what Tyler did. The rules of MasterChef 2014 are to serve a dish that they made. He did not follow the rules and they are sorry, but his journey ends tonight! We see some tears in the MasterChef Kitchen and he is a true gentleman about it. He apologized to Jaimee and said if they would have tasted it, at least it would have tasted great. The best dish of the night goes to Courtney and she will have a huge advantage in the next challenge.
