My Kitchen Rules Australia (Season 12)

16 x 90’

My Kitchen Rules travels a country with the aim of finding the best home-cooking team. In Australia, the teams of two do battle from their own kitchens in each state of Australia.

The aspiring chefs have to impress judges with unique culinary tricks and use local ingredients in their dishes. The contestants also have to transform their home into an instant restaurant for one pressure-cooker night, working against the clock to deliver a winning dining experience.

Over the years, the show has gone through some format changes. For example, in 2011 it was introduced that after the instant-restaurant challenge, the remaining teams must compete in a further four-round format. This involves a “People’s Choice Challenge”, a “Rapid Cook-off”, a “Showdown” between the worst dishes from the “Rapid Cook-off” and “Sudden Death”, in which the two losing teams from the “People’s Choice Challenge” and “Showdown” battle it out, until only team remains to be crowned the winner.
