Swedish Chef Rules

Ya Sure – It’s da Svedish Chef rules

Think Iron Chef meets the muppets and you’ll have the right idea…

No one, except the autocrats & contest coordinator, will know what the mystery ingredient will be before the start of the competition. Each team must use the one mystery ingredient specified, but there may be other ingredients available that they can select from to supplement the mystery ingredient.

Mystery item may be a meat, veggie, dairy, or fruit and will be one item off the following list:

Lutifisk

Chicken

Beef

Carrots

Onions

Turnips

Zucchini

Apples
Cheese

Butter

Each Team shall consist of 2-5 members and is responsible for providing any notes they wish the judges to have about methods of cooking, techniques, etc. No documentation is required but there will be “Sven” points awarded for subtleties and the most “Sven Like” dishes.  Presentation is important too…

Each Team will need to come to the staging area Saturday morning between 9:00 & 12:00 to sign in. Teams will need to return at 3:00 pick up the mystery ingredient.

Start Times

The start time will be at 3:00 PM. No Team shall reveal any information about ingredients until all teams have received their supplies and the competition has started. Entries will be due back at the staging area by 6:00 PM.

There will be a 3 dish minimum.

KITCHENS

Each Team must provide their own kitchen.

Each Team should have their kitchen set up and ready for cooking at the start of the competition.

The competition does not provide an area for kitchen set up. Each kitchen must include a means of cooking and sanitation.
No electricity is allowed.

Wood, Charcoal, white gas, and propane are acceptable.

Legality of other means of cooking will be determined on a case by case basis. Wood for cooking may be subject to local burn policies so teams planning to use wood, please have a back up plan.

Each kitchen must include all equipment needed to prepare and serve the meal:
For example:
Pots and pans

Bowls and containers

Knives and utensils

Serving dishes and utensils
 

Each kitchen must include enough plain water for all cooking and sanitation needs. (Potable water is NOT available on site.)

Each Team may bring and use any cookbooks and recipes they wish.

NO documentation is expected for this competition.

I wish to clarify some aspects of the competition.

* There will be no centralized kitchen for contestants to work from. Those interested in competing will come to the staging area (at or near the royal pavilion) to sign up and pick up your rules and ingredients and then take them back to your own personal kitchen to prepare. You will bring the completed dishes back to the place you picked up your ingredients. (We will have signs posted to designate this area ahead of time.)

* Cookbooks are encouraged. Though documentation is not required it is always nice to have.

* Please have paper and writing implement available to list the ingredients you end up with and to create a name for your dish.

 Questions may be addressed to the contest coordinator, Catrina, Jennifer.Baker@dmxmusic.com  or to the autocrat team, Aleksandra & Mischka, lavrovna@yahoo.com.
