Seasons & Episode
America’s Test Kitchen is an institution for home cooks everywhere, testing recipes to perfection and sharing those tasty results with the world. For the first time ever, 11 passionate home cooks compete in the job interview of a lifetime. The winner has a chance to join the ATK cast, author a cookbook, and earn $100,000! Hosted by Jeannie Mai Jenkins, this competition is about to be lit!
Now that the cooks have made a crucial first impression, the pressure ramps up in the ATK kitchen. For the Task Challenge, contestants choose a Dutch oven that contains a mystery side dish, which they’ll recreate down to the very last detail. Then, for the Test Challenge, each cook receives a protein and a specific cooking technique, which they’ll have to incorporate in their final dish.
Nine cooks remain and the stakes are rising as the home cooks prove they have what it takes to remain in the competition. For the Task challenge, the cooks must prepare a themed food board with at least two cooked elements. Then for the Test challenge, the home cooks are asked to create two appetizers that represent who they are and where they are from on a plate.
This week, 7 remaining home cooks tackle their first on-camera demos, and then take on baking without recipes?! The Task Challenge is a baking hack demo, while the Test throws two textures at them they’ll need to combine into a baked dish. Guest Kwame Onwuachi and Dan Souza taste all of the bakes. They must choose one winner and one cook to pack up their apron.
This episode is all about kid-friendly food! For the Task Challenge, each cook will have to create a lunchbox meal inspired by a global cuisine. After the cooks have made lunch for the kids, it’s time for dinner! In the Test Challenge, our contestants will pair up for the first team challenge, and cook family-friendly dishes using one protein in two separate ways.
The final four will be joined by an all-star cast of judges who have seen their progress: Dan Souza, Jack Bishop, Karen Akunowicz, and Elle Simone Scott. This week, there is no Task Challenge but instead a mega Test Challenge where the home cooks must create a show stopping three-course meal for the judges during a grueling, marathon cook.
