MasterChef: Semi-Final 1 (BBC One Tuesday 23 May 2023)
MasterChef: Semi-Final 1 airs Tuesday 23 May 2023 on BBC One
As the final eight competitors head into the semi-finals, the intensity of the competition increases dramatically. Each contestant wants the same thing: to take home the MasterChef trophy.
The semi-final round begins with a visit to the world-renowned Fire Service College in Gloucestershire. More than fifteen thousand firefighters and emergency personnel are trained there each year. Many put their lives in danger for us, and today our finalists will throw a luncheon in their honour.
For the first time ever, they must tackle the enormous challenge of combining mass catering and fine dining while cooking in teams. Each group will have 3.5 hours to prepare and serve a meal to 120 first responders and instructors.
If they want to pull off the delivery of high-end food on a scale they’ve never seen before, they’ll need to rely on expert planning and delegation. It is imperative that both groups give their all and make this lunch something to remember. John and Gregg will taste each dish and then choose the team they believe has the weakest dish. That team will then have to return to the MasterChef kitchen and compete against each other in a unique Invention Test.
The four remaining competitors must use their ingenuity to create a dish worthy of the MasterChef competition out of canned and jarred ingredients if they want to keep their spots.
With one competitor being eliminated, the remaining seven competitors for the 2023 crown have everything to gain.
Season 19 Episode 19
John Torode and Gregg Wallace are looking for the country’s next star chef. Those who make it through to the quarter-final must prove their knowledge and passion for food. The heats have produced four exceptional cooks, but only one of them will make it through today to become a semi-finalist. Initially named Masterchef Goes Large, the series changed it’s name to Masterchef in 2008.
