Episode Summary
Winner’s Pantry Elimination Challenge — The contestants apart from Callum and Laura were set an elimination challenge by previous winners Julie Goodwin and Nat Thaipun, who each chose a pantry of ingredients they used in their final dish at their finale. In the two-round elimination, the contestants had to choose which pantry to cook with in 60 minutes. The cooks with the worst two dishes in round 1 had to use the other pantry in round 2. Depinder chose Nat’s pantry and made Thai curry ice cream with roti, chilli caramel and lemon and ginger crumb with which the judges found no fault. Ben and Jamie also chose Nat’s pantry and made almost an exact dish. Ben’s pork tortellini with aromatic Thai broth received praise for his broth and pasta work. While Jamie’s pork dumplings with aromatic broth, caviar and finger lime received positive comments for the dumpling work and aromats, his broth was criticized for being too acidic. Sarah chose Julie’s pantry to make confit-glazed wingettes with potato fondant and leek soubise, she was commended for being able to confit chicken in 60 minutes but her soubise wasn’t cooked out enough and had not emulsified. In round 2 Jamie attempted to make gnocchi but rushed through the process making the gnocchi too floury, leading him to make a celeriac puree. Sarah decide to be ambitious and do pork assiette, also known as pork three ways (braised belly, crispy skin, and ham). While the balance of her sauce with the ham work well, the ham lacked flavour and her pork belly was undercooked. Jamie’s dish of charred chicken with pan roasted leek and celeriac puree had praise from the judges, which meant that Sarah was eliminated.
