Announcement of Qualifiers of Top 20 at Junior MasterChef Edition With only ten MasterChef aprons to give away, the 20 remaining kiddie cooks in the “Junior MasterChef Pinoy Edition” face off this Saturday (Sep 24) to replicate a dish in order to escape elimination. The 20 hopefuls have to recreate in an hour seared tenderloin with mashed potato and buttered-glazed vegetables presented by host Judy Ann-Santos Agoncillo and judges Ferns, Lau, and Jayps.

Provided with the ingredients and the recipe, the kids will be instructed to taste the dish and observe its plating before getting in culinary action.

While cooking, the kids should bear in mind that the steak should be cooked medium rare, with additional points if the meat is perfectly round; they must be able to copy the mashed potato’s shape and smoothness, and lastly, the vegetables should be crisp, and the sauce should not be too runny or too thick.

Who will crack under pressure, and who will sail through the challenge? Three kiddie cooks bring their identical dishes to the table for judging

Find out who among the aspiring chef kids will join Athena, Gino, Jobim, Kyle, Philip, Bianca, Judel, Louise, Mico, and Patrick to become the official 20 contestants of the kiddie cooking reality show.

Watch “Junior MasterChef Pinoy Edition” this Saturday, 6:45 PM after “Wansapanataym” on ABS-CBN. For updates on the program, like http://www.facebook.com/jrmasterchef on Facebook, or follow @jrmasterchef_ph on Twitter.
