On the next episode of America's Best Cook, the remaining five chefs must take on the challenge of cooking one of the top five most-intimidating ingredients, considered so by professional chefs. The challenge will test their adaptability and ability to work with some unfamiliar and difficult items. Luckily, the home cooks have mentors waiting in the wings to help them out. If only cooking at home were just like that when you needed guidance, with Tyler, Alex, Michael or Cat just an SOS button away.
For this challenge, the "deadly" ingredients are Arborio rice, quail, baby octopus, scallops in their shell and chicken livers. And at the end of the cooking, the home cooks will be judged by Chef Marcel Vigneron, who is known for taking big risks in the competitive kitchen. Will the home cooks flourish or falter? Which ingredient will get the better of them?
Watch an exclusive sneak peek of the episode below and vote on the ingredient you think is the most-intimidating.
