Wife has been watching it and I have been watching a little. How are these kids age 8-12 knowledgable enough to be able to cook these dishes?

I watched the last season and I'm watching this season. These kids are incredible. I've been very impressed with this show.

We never have missed an episode. This one is on the DVR now while my youngest finishes his shower. We will watch before he goes to bed. He loves it... And we let him stay up past his bedtime to watch together as a family..... Gets home from the gym, eats dinner, watched masterchef junior, and hits the sack. Momma and daddy usually follow suit.

I save them for my young niece to watch sometimes when she's at my house. She loves them, too. I enjoy Jr more than the adult show. Much more.

I agree since we have more watchers than I was expecting.

Does anyone think they coach them up off camera?

I don't know, it possible they are teaching techniques and then the test are from the lessens that have been taught. How can these kids know so much...
Posted on 2/3/15 at 9:56 pm to wickowick
Yeah I almost certainly think they teach them techniques before they reveal the tests.
Posted on 2/3/15 at 9:59 pm to KosmoCramer
I watched it with my 8 yo daughter tonight for the first time. Very impressive kids!

From the posted article.
I don't think this really takes anything away from the show.
They still have to perform from memory and practice.

Birdsong and her culinary team of as many as 26 people teach the kids cooking classes in between episodes, walking them through the techniques they need to succeed and giving them safety training. The MasterChef classroom is identical to the set — same ovens, same food processors — so the contestants can get familiar with the equipment. The culinary team squeezes in as many classes for the kids as they can given the short amount of time children are legally allowed to be on the Paramount lot every day. “The kids are here to learn as much as they can the whole time,” she says.
Birdsong says she doesn’t teach the kids exactly what to do for a challenge, but rather shows them a basic and (most importantly) the fastest way to accomplish things like make a sauce or filet a fish. There are lots of different ways to make a piecrust, for example, but one way is probably best when you’re racing the clock. The kids have the option of writing down and memorizing anything from class.
“We teach a very basic application that works in our environment and that’s what they tend to stay with, and it’s their choice if they go off that mark [during a challenge],” she says, adding that the adults who receive the same classes are more likely to revert to their personal cooking methods.

The kids finish cooking and the PR person who trailed me while I was there asks me to step out of the building with him. This was quite obviously a pivotal moment and I wanted to see how the judging went down, so I asked why I had to leave, and he said that they didn’t want the show “to get overexposed.”
Optimistically, what was happening was that the judges and producers were looking at the kids’ plates and figuring out who would win and who would go home, and maybe cleaning them up…a little.
Hmm, that bothers me.
