Heat three sees four professional chefs arrive to make their mark in the MasterChef kitchen and to stake their claim to the coveted title. With their reputations on the line, their knowledge and experience are tested as they face the infamous Skills Test under the watchful eye of judges Monica, Marcus and Gregg. \n\nMonica sets the first test, a pasta challenge in which two chefs must make agnolotti filled with burrata and sun-dried tomatoes served with a pea and mint pesto. Rolling and filling the perfect pasta pillows requires accuracy, technique and precision. Will they be able to keep calm and deliver, or will nerves overcome them? The other two chefs face Marcus’s test. They must prepare pan-fried calves liver with potato cake and walnut beurre noisette. All four contenders have just 20 minutes to complete their dishes. Will they hit the mark or fall at the first hurdle?
