MasterChef (Uruguayan TV series)

In each episode the participants must overcome a challenge

• Mystery box: In this challenge, contestants have a box that hides ingredients or other things. With what they have in the box they have to cook a dish, without being able to go to the market to look for more ingredients. They can use all the ingredients they want from the box, be it one or all.
• Elimination Test: In this test will be the worst dishes of the previous test. They have to cook any dish, but that dish has to have a main ingredient chosen by the Chefs (in each elimination test the main ingredient will be different). In this test there is always only one loser, which is removed from MasterChef. This is the only test that is in every episode.
• Team Challenge: In this challenge the cooks are split into teams by team captains who is the one who chooses his teammates and who chooses what dishes to do. Captains are almost always the 2 winners of the previous test. Always in this challenge the judges are not the main Chefs but other people, generally several people.
• Challenge in pairs: In this test teams of two participants are formed. They have to make a dish chosen by each team. While one cooks the other stands to the side and can help you by talking and giving advice or warn you about something but cannot help you by cooking or touching something. After a certain time they rotate and the one who cooked, stands on one side talking to him and the other cooks. They always rotate more than 1 time.
• Master class: In this challenge, the contestants taste a dish cooked by a guest chef, and then they cook it with different ingredients for a certain time.
