Series chronology

Applications for contestants opened during the airing of the tenth season. Pete Evans returned as series judge, with Colin Fassnidge and Manu Feildel acting as a judge/mentor in the challenge/elimination rounds.

The start date for the season was confirmed as 2 February 2020.[1]

This was Evans' final season as he quit in May 2020.[2]

Format changes

  • Contestants - This season was "Fans vs Favourites" - with 5 pairs of Fans competing against 5 pairs of Favourites - 4 pairs from past-seasons and a 5th Hybrid team, consisting of two former-pairs forming a new pair.
  • Teams - The contestants were split into two teams, the Fans represented the House of Colin (Harbourside Mansion) and the Faves represented the House of Manu (Inner City Warehouse).


  • Judges - Pete Evans was the only full time judge this season. For every round as Manu Feildel will be a mentor along with Colin Fassnidge who will only judge their opposing teams.
  • Prize Money - This prize money has been reduced from $250,000 to $100,000.
  • Instant Restaurant Rules - Each team was mentored by Manu or Colin during their cooks. This year, the teams did not score individually and they scored in their house instead. After the round, the lowest scoring team from each house went head to head into an Elimination Cook-off where one was eliminated. The team cooking sets out instructions for the teammates to set up the instant restaurants during the cooking team's shopping period.
  • Restaurant Takeover - Each house had to choose representations to cook two courses in restaurants in Australia. The judges, public and the other house scored each team's two-course meal and after the round, the house with the lower point (the total point of the representations) chose one team in the house while the other house chose one team to cook in the Elimination Cook-off.
  • Semi-Final - Ultimate Instant Restaurant - Instead of the format of the previous seasons that two teams cooked-off every night, the Top 4 cooked in the UIR Round to have a slot in the Grand Final. However, everyone including teams which are eliminated came back to judge the food as jury. Moreover, teams only had to cook 1 dish per course instead of 2. After this round, the two highest scoring teams went into the Grand Final.
  • Grand Final - This year, teams cooked in a restaurant in Sydney instead of the MKR Headquarters. Each grand-finalist had to cook a four-course meal including Canape, Entrée, Main and Dessert. Judges Pete, Manu and Colin voted, making the total possible score 30 instead of 60.
