Format
MasterChef Indonesia airs two days a week from Saturday to Sunday. The competition takes place in the RCTI's studio in Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta which is known as MasterChef Gallery. This place includes a large kitchen area with several cooking stations which is overlooked by a balcony, a well-stocked pantry, and a freezer.[2]
At the audition round, the contestants have to prepare their mainstay dish for around 30 minutes. The judges can advance them to the next round based on their dishes by deciding to give them an apron or not.
In the bootcamp round, the first challenge is to have the contestants to perform basic skills such as filleting a fish, peeling shrimps, etc. During that time the judges will observe their techniques. The second challenge requires the contestants to create a dish using a prepared staple ingredient and the judges can advance them to the gallery round or eliminate them based on their cooking techniques and the taste of their dishes by taking their aprons.
Subsequently, the formal competition begins typically following a three event cycle that takes place over two episodes, where the judges will eliminate one or even two contestants after the third event. The events typically are:
- Mystery Box: Contestants are all given a box with the same ingredients and must use only those ingredients to create a dish within a fixed amount of time. The judges will select 3 dishes based on visual appearance and technique alone to taste, and from these 3 select one winner who will gain an advantage to prevent the pressure test and advance to the next round automatically.
- Elimination Test: The judges explain the mystery box winner the theme of the elimination test (or sometimes take the winner to the pantry) and tell of at least one advantage. The most typical one is selecting the specific ingredient to use or dish to recreate, but can also include automatic advancement to the next round, assigning certain ingredients to specific chefs or saving one of the contestants. The rest of the contestants are then informed and collected any ingredients that has been prepared for this test with a fixed amount of time to complete the dish. Judges evaluate all dishes based on taste and visual appeal. One from the contestants with a best dish will go straight to the next round and then the judges will nominate some of the contestants with a worst dish and criticize them before telling them to get ready for the pressure test.
- Pressure Test: The worst performing contestants must compete against each other to make a standard dish within a very limited amount of time that requires a great degree of cooking finesse. For those contestants who are passes to the next round will watch the test from the balcony. Each dish is judged on the taste, visual appeal and technique, and the losing contestant is eliminated.
- Signature Dish: Contestants were tasked with creating a dish that represented themselves and their cooking philosophy around a staple ingredient or theme.
- Duplication Test: Contestants were required to duplicating a certain dish in terms of presentation and taste.
- Skills Test: The judges explain the preparation of a specific dish, or the preparation of an ingredient. The contestant is then required to reproduce that dish in a specific time limit - typically 15–20 minutes. The judges then look the contestant's attempt and give feedback. The judge would give a 1-minute penalty to a contestant who cannot prepare the ingredient or cook the dish properly before continuing the next step.
- Offsite Challenge: Challenges that must be done outside the MasterChef gallery.
