Serious On-Set Injury Halts Debut of Tim Mälzer’s ‘Meisterklasse’

The Vox competition now premieres with a reduced field after one cook was hospitalized.

Overview

  • During filming of the opening episode, contestant Sunil Prajapati suffered a severe cut to his wrist or hand while slicing, prompting an immediate stop to the shoot.
  • Host Tim Mälzer halted production and called for emergency help, describing it as one of the worst cut injuries he had seen in his kitchen.
  • Prajapati was taken to hospital, and media reports indicate he underwent surgery and is now recovering.
  • His run in the contest has ended, while the series proceeds on schedule on Vox from November 4 after appearing on RTL+ since late October.
  • Prajapati suggested he slipped because his fingers were greasy from handling butter, highlighting safety risks in fast-paced televised kitchens.
