Well, Ken, one thought is to do different courses. Or… have the team who goes first have to prepare everything up until the last step, and then you only need to share the kitchen part of the time. Or… though maybe not as fun… try it pot-luck style. Announce the secret ingredients the day before and have people bring their dishes.

I really enjoyed reading this and have all sorts of things going through my head. My wife and I have been talking about how to do a chopped party but unsure how to do it in our home with only one stove, can anyone give us any ideas on how to through together a party?

You realize that I’m not an actual judge on the show, right? (I wouldn’t have the gall to criticize most of those contenders!)

Vinnie, I really like that version. And it’s a lot cheaper, too.

Last night we play Chopped – The Arctic Edition

In this game you look in your freezer and and pick out three items for your meal. I picked frozen spinach, pierogies, and pine nuts. I combined these with pantry items: bacon, dried cranberries, balsamic vinegar, and onions. The result was a terrific dinner. I can;t wait to play again soon

Lisa, Sarah: It’s pretty cool that you’ve both given it a shot, too. And Sarah, you kept with the 30 minute rule, I’m impressed. Out kitchen and, um, kitchen skills, are not quite up to par to add the stress of a timed contest.

Me and my friend did this against her sister and her sisters friend (we did teams) and it was a dessert course and her dad was the judge for our mystery ingredients he chose: strawberries, maple syrup, quinoa, sun-dried tomato hummus and farm fresh eggs! We ended up making a French toast sandwich with a strawberry purée and Hummus! It actually tasted good! Then under the sandwich we had caramelized quinoa! We were being timed for 30 minutes! The other team made a strawberry quinoa crepe with hummus in the crepe mix! We were being judged on presentation, creativity, and taste! I think we won

I’m scheduling a Chopped party with a few friends/neighbors and found your blog while looking for inspiration for making the party unique. Last time we had this party we got together over several glasses of wine and picked out ingredients from a bowl. We each prepared a dish using: Pork Salami, Potato, Red Cabbage, Feta Cheese. Not the easiest ingredients to work with for sure.

I love the idea about going shopping together and exchanging baskets. We’ll see if the group goes for it.

It sounds like a great idea for a party, since they can deliberate about the ingredients. And I’m hoping and assuming you have a huge kitchen!
