Pressure Cooker is a cooking competition television series on Netflix. [2] The premise of the show features chefs competing in various cooking challenges as they live in together in one house. The twist of the series is that unlike most other cooking shows (in which a panel of judges will judge each dish), the chefs themselves will judge one another's food.
The show has been described as a mix of Top Chef and Big Brother - combining the cooking challenges of the former, and the social politicking of the latter. [3] Contestants included chefs such as Renee Blackman [4] and Robbie Jester. [5] [6]
Pressure Cooker season 1 has 8 episodes. [7]
