Format

Any child between ages eight and thirteen can apply to become a contestant on the series by applying online or by going to an open casting call. The contestants are announced through a variety of methods over the years, sometimes via competitions, or sometimes the top contestants are simply announced. As in its parent show '' MasterChef'', the following challenges have all been regularly featured on the show: * Skills Test: Cooks are challenged to prepare foods in accordance with a list of common cooking techniques or styles, or to replicate a particular cooking method of a dish (i.e. steaks done to an exact wellness). This type of test is also sometimes used as an Elimination Test. * Mystery Box: Cooks are all given a box with the same ingredients and must use only those ingredients to create a dish within a fixed amount of time. The judges will select three dishes based on visual appearance and technique alone to taste, and from these three select one winner who usually gains an advantage of some type in the elimination test. * Elimination Test: After the challenge is explained, judges evaluate all dishes based on taste and visual appeal. The judges nominate the worst dishes for elimination and criticize them before eliminating at least one contestant. * Team Challenge: The cooks are split into teams by either team captains or the judges. They often occur in a restaurant takeover or pop-up restaurant taking the place of the staff of a particular restaurant. Diners taste both meals and vote for their favorite. The winning team advances, while the losing team will participate in the Pressure Test or even face elimination based on team members' performance. * Pressure Test: Another form of the Elimination Test, in which losing team members compete against each other to make a standard dish within a very limited amount of time that requires a great degree of cooking finesse. Each dish is judged on taste, visual appeal and technique, and the losing chef is eliminated. Once the competition is reduced to either the final two or three competitors, the finalists will compete against each other in a three-course cook-off. All courses of the meal are judged and an overall winner is crowned. The winner of each season wins $100,000, the ''MasterChef Junior'' trophy, and the title of ''MasterChef Junior''. Some seasons have also added other prizes.

Development


Casting

Like its adult counterpart, at its inception ''MasterChef Junior'' was judged by Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and
Graham Elliot Graham Elliot Bowles (born January 4, 1977)Vettel, Phi ''Chicago Tribune'' blog, July 29, 2010 is an American chef, restaurateur, and reality television personality. He first gained recognition in the restaurant business as a three-time nominee fo ...
. Bastianich did not return for the show's fourth season, being replaced by prominent pastry chef Christina Tosi. Elliot did not return for the show's fifth season, and a series of rotating guest judges served for the third judge. For the sixth season, Bastianich returned to his judging position. In the seventh season, Bastianich left again and was replaced by Aarón Sánchez, who was one of the guest judges in season 5 as well as a judge on the adult ''MasterChef''.


Production

Fox placed casting calls for participants in January 2013. Fox officially ordered the series (then under the name ''Junior MasterChef'') on May 10, 2013. The name was later changed to ''MasterChef Junior''. There were concerns that Ramsay's style of cursing at the contestants on his other competition shows (most notably '' Hell's Kitchen'' and the adult ''MasterChef'') would carry over to ''MasterChef Junior''. It did not. One contestant (Gavin) said that Ramsay had only cursed twice during the production of the series and never at the contestants. In the final editing, he cursed once in front of (but not at) the contestants.{{cite web, url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/02/masterchef-junior-gordon-ramsay_n_3693291.html, title='MasterChef Junior': Gordon Ramsay Talks New Fox Cooking Series Featuring Children, last=Harris, first=Beth, publisher=
