Overview
- The Nov. 25 VOX installment focused exclusively on vegetables, giving contestants 45 minutes to plate their dishes, with streaming available on RTL+.
- Tim Mälzer refused to taste at least two dishes he judged insufficiently creative, emphasizing variety and distinctive ideas.
- Star chefs Jan Hartwig and Andreas Caminada demonstrated techniques, including a refined potato purée and inventive uses of chicorée.
- A subsequent artichoke assignment exposed technical errors that Hartwig flagged, such as unpeeled potatoes and fibrous artichoke pieces.
- Following judging, two contestants were sent home and one moved on as the competition narrowed toward the finale.
