MasterChef USA Junior

It's slimy, it's icky, it's stinky. Sixteen pint-sized chefs from all around the country earn their white aprons and are tasked with their first challenge, a secret item they must use as the star of their dish to cook their way into victory.

Red, white, or green? Fifteen chefs remain and must join together and collaborate in their groups to create the most show-stopping pizzas in only 20 minutes. Whichever group impresses the three judges the least faces the elimination round.

In the first field challenge of the season, the remaining 14 junior chefs split into two teams to prepare a medieval-themed dish for a crowd of lords and ladies.

Gordon Ramsay's daughter, Matilda "Tilly" Ramsay, joins as a guest judge, as the panel challenges the remaining 13 young home cooks to make one of their favorite treats: donuts.

To celebrate the approaching birth of her baby, judge and New York Times best-selling cookbook author Daphne Oz challenges the remaining 12 young chefs to divide into two teams and create the ultimate savory and sweet balanced meal.

After facing a nutty Mystery Box challenge, 11 junior chefs compete in a fiery elimination challenge. They also welcome back Masterchef Junior Edition Season Seven winner Che Spiotta.

The Top 10 chefs start their engines for the ultimate race of the season, as they head over to a secret destination for their challenge.

The nine remaining junior chefs create one of the most popular fried, feisty and spicy finger foods.

The eight junior chefs host their first-ever bake sale as their next team challenge. The judges want to see their versions of four different types of delicious tasty treats to be compared on flavor and presentation.

This week the seven remaining junior chefs test their culinary knowledge of different types of eggs and cuts of steak. In 45 minutes, the chefs must create a dish with an egg of their choice, ranging from a tiny quail egg to a giant ostrich egg.
