The chefs receive a basket containing four mystery ingredients, some traditional, some more unusual. They are given 30 minutes to create each dish. After each course, one contestant gets "chopped" until only the winner is left. There are five chefs chosen for each episode in case someone gets sick, delayed, or stage fright.

That fourth plate has a purpose. The chefs get a little bit of help to beat the clock. The mystery baskets are strategically planned, and they're actually made with a meal in mind.

There are more than people on set working behind the scenes. You can't base the decision on who is popular, who is charming, who is cute. You can't. The rules sort of save us from that. If somebody omits a mystery basket ingredient, that's a huge mistake, but somebody else maybe could burn two of the ingredients, or undercook one of the ingredients, and burn another, and we find ourselves asking all the time, "What is the greater crime?
Cooking can definitely be dangerous. There are flames, there are sharp edges, there's a small amount of counter space. We have surprisingly few injuries, and what we've had have always been minor. I've been doing this for 10 years, and I never get bored with it. The only problem I have with hosting "Chopped" is that my feet hurt. Whenever you start a show, there's no guarantee of success, and so they typically will order a modest number of episodes, I think our first order was 13 episodes.
We had no way of knowing what our longevity was gonna be, or whether people would embrace it. I think "Chopped" succeeds in part because of the excitement and the tension. We're forcing them to cook with ingredients that they didn't get to choose. But I also think that all of us who cook have had those nights when the kids are screaming for something, and you haven't had a chance to go to the market, and you open up the fridge, and you have to make do with what you have.

If I have a problem with a recipe, I can text her. I also think that our judges are super knowledgeable, very entertaining, funny. We've had a little bit of foment in our judges' ranks and our most recent acquisition, Martha Stewart, I think is a very, very exciting one.
I've been a fan of hers for 25 years, and now I get to work with her, it's amazing. Vittoria Retortillo Supporter. Do Iron Chefs know secret ingredient?
