How the Competition Works
In every episode of Top Chef: Just Desserts, the chefs face two main challenges. These challenges test their cooking skills and creativity.
Quickfire Challenges
The Quickfire Challenge is a short and fast test. It checks how well the chefs know their basic cooking skills. They might have to make something quickly or use a specific ingredient.
Elimination Challenges
The Elimination Challenge is usually bigger and harder. Chefs need to be very creative here. They might have to make desserts for a special event or use unusual ingredients. The chef who does the worst in this challenge has to leave the show.
