In this second heat, five more ambitious chefs from across the country begin their bid for the coveted title with three challenges to test who is good enough to win a quarter-final place and who must go home.

Cooking in a brand new MasterChef kitchen, the first challenge they face is the Signature Dish Test. The five chefs have one hour to cook one plate of food that showcases just what they can do, before one must leave.

For the remaining four chefs, the next hurdle is Monica's daunting Skills Test, where they must impress both Monica and Gregg with their abilities in 20 minutes or less. In this episode, the judges ask each chef to demonstrate their pasta skills by making the perfect tortellini.

Finally, the four chefs are put through their paces by Marcus Wareing for the first time, when he sets them his version of the infamous Invention Test. First Marcus demonstrates one of his favourite recipes to viewers at home. In this episode it's a dish inspired by his childhood - pineapple upside-down cake.

Marcus then gives the chefs the main ingredient for the dish and a larder containing the rest of the components in his dish, as well as an array of other high quality ingredients. In their final chance to impress, the four have just ten minutes to compose a pineapple dish and one hour to cook a plate of food that will prove they are worthy of a quarter-final place.

Marcus and Monica then have the difficult task of comparing notes on their two tests to decide which chef must go home, and which three will make it through to the next round.
