Format

After the active Steel Chefs are introduced by Jiyaad Azzam, the challenger chef is introduced. Starting in Season 2, the challenger chef then selects the Steel Chef they will battle. An ingredient or group of ingredients (referred to as the "secret ingredient(s)") is revealed, and the cooking begins. On occasion, the ingredients are actually a 'theme meal;' for example, eggs, bacon, potatoes, etc. are revealed and thus the "secret ingredient" is breakfast. Both the competitor and the Steel Chef are given a list of three to five ingredients before the battle, of which one will be the secret ingredient. Both the challenger and the Steel Chef have 60 minutes to prepare a minimum of five dishes based on a theme ingredient.
