Overview

The series was part of the MasterChef franchise and was based on a similar competition format held in the United Kingdom, where MasterChef originated.

Format

Of all the amateur chefs who auditioned nationwide, the chosen auditionees, usually three to four auditionees per episode, had to cook their signature dish under a 60-minute time limit for the four judges. Each judge took a taste of the dishes and gave their opinions before they all chose the auditionee who was to move on to the next round. After the initial round, all the auditionees underwent more further cooking tests until the four judges had chosen the top finalists.

Each week, the finalists underwent numerous challenges and tests. The finalists also underwent elimination tests reducing their numbers until the only remaining hopeful cook remained.

Broadcasting

Unlike its international counterparts, the show was broadcast as a weekday morning program airing 45 minutes per episode 5 times a week, Monday through Friday, while the Saturday edition included encore episodes with never before seen footage during the taping where they discovered and whipped up extraordinary dishes as well as giving out cooking tips and trivia.

Prizes

The winner of the competition received the four million peso cash prize, a culinary scholarship from the Center of Asian Culinary Studies, and a kitchen showcase from Fujidenzo. [2] [6]
