It’s MasterChef Australia 2023 episode 15 and it’s that time of the week where one contestant must leave the competition.

All of the remaining competitors, except for Declan, were up to cook; however, unlike previous eliminations, this one wasn’t an intense race against the clock, it was actually a two-day event!

The cooks were allotted 45 minutes to prepare their dishes before returning the following day with 60 minutes to finish.

Elimination cook

Brent decided to utilise the extra time by using the sous vide technique on some duck legs for his Bebek Goreng dish, while Malissa too chose an Indonesian flavour with her Beef Redang.

Meanwhile, Robbie used a slow cooker for the first time in his life and whipped up Asian Style Poached Duck while Theo prepared a Slow-Cooked Lamb Shoulder with Slow-Proofing Bread in the hope to make his dad proud.

While the overnight portion was beneficial for some of the contestants, others faced huge problems as time went on.

Rhiannon was upset when she discovered that her Beef Rendang had dried out and was overcooked, while Malissa’s ragu was unbalanced and Robbie’s broth lost all of its flavour.

Amy also found herself in a disappointing situation when she discovered that her pork was overcooked and she had limited time to perfect her blue tortillas.

But, it wasn’t all grim. Brent’s duck legs looked great and Theo’s lamb cooked just as he’d hoped.

Elimination judging

Amongst some of the best dishes were Theo’s Lamb and Flatbreads which the judges loved, and Brent’s duck was called the best dish he’s cooked in the competition so far. Both men made the cut.

The elimination came down to the worst three dishes – which were Malissa’s unbalanced Ragu paired with Pasta that wasn’t cooked al dente, Rhiannon’s Beef Rendang which was considered dry with an acidic sauce and Amy’s Mexican Japanese fusion also had dried out.

Who was sent home?

The judges declared that Amy’s Mexican dish had dry meat, sauce that didn’t belong, and tortillas that were too thick, so she was sent home.

MasterChef Australia continues at 7:30pm on 10 and 10Play.
