I wonder how long they actually had to come up with those dishes. If anyone thinks this show is really live and only had 1 hr to know the secret ingredient and cook those dishes, I'm so sad to burst that tiny bubble you live in.

@smutpow

They do have a list of potential secret ingredients they might have to face on competition day. They can plan out what they want to make beforehand. But they really only have one hour to get it all in the works and this is where it really counts!

@smutpow The chefs are given a list of possible ingredients ahead of time, so before filming starts, they know what they are making. Then, after the ingredient is revealed there's 45 minutes for planning. Then, the part they show, 1 hour to make 1 serving of each dish for the close-ups. Then another 45 minutes to produce 4 more servings for the judges. Even though it's longer than it looks, it's still extremely difficult.

And I'm going to have to make that white trotter ragu now.

First battle I dont agree with I so thought Appleman was gonna win this one.

I'm not surprised you don't know anyone who eats pork brains, because it's not exactly a common food staple in American kitchens; I don't know anyone who eats truffles and I'm not about to turn them down if they land on my plate!

Furthermore, ICA isn't about who can make the healthiest dishes. If it was, they wouldn't have used suckling pig as a secret ingredient; All pork products would be strictly banned from the kitchen which clearly isn't the case (thank God!)

Great Episode!

@smutpow To answer your question, they have 15 minutes from when they first see the ingredient behind the scenes when its not being aired. then they show it to them again when its being filmed for us.

@mchan2048 I'm pretty sure they're told the actual secret ingredient in advance. Notice how all the ingredients they need are just there -- and they know where everything is. Also how sous-chefs immediately get their action going without any instructions. Not even a brief huddle before they begin. They're not telepathic, and these are complex recipes, every one. They get to plan very accurately...but yes, one hour for execution
