Chopped: Volume 1

The baskets are full of leftovers, and the four competitors demonstrate tricks and recipes to try at home. In the first round, a chef makes a daring soup using leftovers. The judges don't know whether to be impressed or scared.

Four champions return to try to win a chance to compete for the coveted title of Chopped Champion and the $50,000 grand prize. But, the baskets are far from simple. Hating haggis will get the champs nowhere in the first round.

With just two chefs left fighting in the dessert round, patience might be the most important ingredient, as one competitor seems overly eager to take his baked concoction out of the oven.

With just two spots left in the tournament's $50,000 grand finale, four winners return to try to beat the odds. The champs leap into an entree round that features frog legs and gin.

Four new returning winners battle for the single place remaining in the $50,000 Chopped Champions grand finale. In the first round, the chefs must shake things up with sour apple martini mix in the basket.

In the grand finale of the Chopped Champions tournament, four two-time winners stride into the kitchen with their eyes on the big prize: $50,000! Fresh surprises and a baked good challenge the champs in the first round.

The chefs hope the basket of ingredients speaks to them. Will smoked beef tongue and garbanzo beans inspire an appetizer and halibut with aquavit create an entree? In the dessert round, chefs use banana chips and almond butter.

Four Chopped runners-up return to redeem their previous defeats. Will pre-cooked protein and a slimy sea creature throw anybody off? The chefs in the entree round find a difficult basket with poultry tongue and pineapple.

In this first celebrity competition, star chefs from Food Network and Cooking Channel go head-to-head for charity. In the second round, something's fishy in the basket and one dish is at risk when two chefs bump into each other.

In this All-Stars round, chefs with considerable competitiveness take on each other. The judges are eager to see what the chefs do with sea bass and cream soda. Then, they must make oxtail and labaneh into delicious dishes.

The tables turn in the Chopped Kitchen as the judges become chefs. In the first round, the judges-turned-competitors must crack the basket after cracking open diver scallops. Then can they make a bird fly with canned pizza sauce?

Four celebrities who share a love of cooking heat up the Chopped Kitchen. Can the cooks use vanilla cupcakes to create appetizers as one-of-a-kind as they are? Then, crispy and jiggly make the main course a study in contrasts.

Four returning All-Stars champs compete for charitable causes that are very meaningful to them. Two surprises in the first basket are a salty veggie and a fresh seafood item. Then cheddar-filled pretzels make a fun-filled entree.
