Masterchef what do you win

However, if you remain unconvinced by the lack of funds, there is an alternative. Although the potential rewards at the end of the process can be extremely lucrative, actually taking part isn't a guaranteed money maker. In fact, contestants in the UK version of the show don't receive any money for participating and will even have to shell out for ingredients in order to practice them at home. However, when it comes to the show itself, the production company subsidise the ingredients in the extensive larder.

This can make cooking in the UK version quite an expensive exercise. Again, there are substantial differences in international versions of the show. However, it isn't all good news if you decide to compete abroad. I've seen it happen. In addition to that, in order to get cast in MasterChef , potential contestants need to pay their way to LA for the final casting. While there, about potential competitors are put up in a hotel with their final audition, interviews, and psychological evaluations.

But pretty quickly, about 70 of those competitors are cut, despite the fact they paid to get their chance to be on television. But what do you actually get if you win, and where are past winners now? Here's everything you need to know The winner of MasterChef : The Professionals is awarded a very prestigious title and a snazzy trophy. Plus they get to boast about the fact they were most impressive in the eyes of the esteemed judges.

But there is no cash prize on MasterChef: The Professionals, just the honour of winning the show. The Nottingham-based chef has stayed put in his hometown and in September announced that he would be taking the reigns of Canal Turn, a brand new restaurant in The Island Quarter. And regardless, the pay on the show does mean that the contestants really are there for the right reasons, proving the authenticity of the competition - something quite refreshing in today's reality TV landscape.
