The Jr MasterChefs were divided into 2 groups, the yellow team headed by Louise and the green team headed by Gilbert. The two teams have their bad and good points. Eventually, the 6 points went to the yellow team and 3 points to the green team.

Whisking Egg Whites

On Sunday, the kids participated in the Catch up Challenge so that those in the bottom line could accumulate additional points and escape possible elimination. The first task was manually whisking egg whites, followed by cooking poach eggs. Egg poaching is the best and healthy method of cooking eggs. The egg is added to boiling water with vinegar while constantly stirring it.
