This episode of MasterChef began with a Mystery Box Challenge. For anyone who may be unfamiliar with Mystery Box Challenges, the home cooks have to use some or all of the ingredients inside the box to create a dish.
What's inside this week's Mystery Box? Mike's wishing for a steak! He gets his wish; T-bone steak, peaches, paprika, corn, and watermelon are among the ingredients in the box this week. The judges made a big point of making sure everyone knows the ingredients all came from Wal-Mart and only cost $15.....have to make that advertising money and all, you know.
The contestants have 60 minutes to prepare their dishes.

MasterChef Season 3 Episode 7 Recap
As you may recall from last week, Christine and Josh had the two best dishes in the Elimination Challenge and were named team captains for the next Team Challenge.
The contestants are all asleep in their Los Angeles hotel when the judges start knocking on everyone's door to begin this week's Team Challenge. It's 3am and not everyone is happy to see the judges so early. This week's Team Challenge is to cook all the breakfast room service orders. Occupants in the hotel can order: two eggs any style, homemade pancakes, oatmeal, eggs benedict, a fresh fruit salad, or an egg white omelet.

MasterChef Season 3 Episode 6 Recap
Tonight the top 15 home cooks continued their quest to become the next MasterChef.
The episode starts with a Mystery Box Challenge. What's in the box? Various body parts of animals, such as cow tongue, a lamb's head, and bull testicles. Most of the home cooks are grossed out about the prospect of having to cook with these parts, and Christine is thankful she can't see what's in her box. Likewise, I'm glad I couldn't see it! LOL. I know that some call these parts "delicacies," but eating any of the animal parts they had to work with didn't sound appetizing to me at all.
The contestants have 90 minutes to cook.
Monti decides to work with the testicles. Joe Bastianich tells her the testicles are very difficult to work with. Monti replies that doing something easy isn't going to impress him. Ryan tells Gordon Ramsay that he will be the next MasterChef.

MasterChef Season Three Premiere Part One Recap
I know this week's recaps are a little late, and I'm terribly sorry about that, but I wanted to post them anyway.
Season three of Gordon Ramsey's MasterChef premiered on Monday June 4.
The show began by reminding the 100 contestants what they could win if they were to become this year's MasterChef. This year the winner of MasterChef will win a cash prize of $250,000, a MasterChef trophy, and will have a cookbook published with the winner's best recipes.
After going around the country, the contestants were narrowed down to 100 of the best home cooks in the United States. Each home cook had one hour to prepare a dish that they would present the judges to taste. The judges, who are Gordon Ramsay, Graham Elliot, and Joe Bastianich, tasted each home chef's dish and decided if the individual had what it took to possibly become the next MasterChef. Those who were selected to go on in the contest were given special MasterChef aprons.
