It was a tense moment on the latest episode of MasterChef as one of the contestants, Peter, made a rookie mistake that ultimately cost him his place on the show. The judges, Gregg Wallace and John Torode, were left shocked and nearly poisoned after Peter accidentally covered his carrots in salt instead of sugar. It was a simple mistake, but it had a big impact on the judges' reactions.
John was the first to taste Peter's dish, an oven-baked trout with "butter and sugar roasted carrots". After just one bite, he couldn't hide his disgust and exclaimed, "Woah!" He then probed Peter about the "acidic heat" on the carrots and informed him that he had mistakenly used salt instead of sugar. Gregg chimed in, "Yeah, you have," confirming John's suspicions.
Unfortunately for Peter, this blunder was the final nail in the coffin for him on the show. He admitted that the nerves got the best of him and it was a disappointing end to his MasterChef journey. John was also disappointed, as he made it clear that he was disgusted by the mistake.
Viewers were also shocked by Peter's blunder, with many taking to social media to express their disbelief. One viewer joked, "MasterChef probably isn't the place to mistake salt for sugar, to be fair," while another pointed out that it was a classic rookie mistake. Even the judges couldn't help but make light of the situation, with John saying, "You may have mistaken the sugar and salt, poor sod."
But that wasn't the only mistake that Peter made on the show. In an earlier challenge, he managed to completely burn a cabbage, to the point where it was fully cremated. "Peter has burnt his cabbage" was an understatement, as one viewer hilariously pointed out that its ashes could be scattered in a memorial park.
It seemed like Peter's nerves were getting the best of him, as he had also watched videos of the "50 most disastrous events on MasterChef" the night before the competition. It was a strange tactic, but Peter explained that he was preparing himself for the worst-case scenario. Unfortunately, it seemed to have the opposite effect.
The judges had warned Peter that he was overcomplicating things, and it turned out to be true. His dish was a disaster, with the burnt cabbage being the cherry on top. Peter couldn't believe he had forgotten about it and even joked that it looked like something for Halloween.
Viewers couldn't help but make jokes about the situation, with one quipping that Peter probably regretted watching the "50 most disastrous moments on MasterChef" now. But despite his mishaps, Peter remained a good sport and even had a laugh about the situation.
