Format
In each episode, four chefs compete in a three-round contest, where they try to combine a combination of unusual ingredients into a dish that is then evaluated by a three-judge panel. At the beginning of each round (usually "Opener", "Entrà ©  © e", and "Dessert", but with the occasional exception), the chefs are given a basket of four mystery ingredients and are expected to use them in several ways. Although failing to use material is not an automatic disqualification, the judge actually considers it when making decisions. The ingredients are often not prepared together. For example, in the episode "Yucca, Watermelon, Tortilla," Appetizer ingredients consist of watermelon, canned sardine, pepper cheese, and zucchini. Chefs are given unlimited access to kitchens and refrigerators filled with a variety of other ingredients.
Each round has a time limit, usually 20 minutes for Appetizer, and 30 minutes each for Entrà © me and Dessert. These limits have been extended on occasions for special format episodes and for rounds where one or more mystery ingredients require additional preparation/cooking time. The chefs should cook their dishes and finish the four coatings (three for the jury and one "beauty plate") before the time runs out. After the time ends, the judges criticize dishes based on presentation, taste and creativity and choose a chef to "chop up" - eliminated from the competition without victory. Allen expressed the judge's decision by lifting cloche on their table to show the chef's losing entrée, and one of the judges commented on the reason of their choice for the chef being eliminated. In the Dessert round, the judges consider not only the dishes created by the two chefs during the round, but also their overall performance throughout the competition. The winner receives $ 10,000, though in a special competition, the winner can earn between $ 20,000 and $ 50,000.

Production notes
According to host Ted Allen, the show's non-show pilot episode, recorded at the Culinary School at the New York Institute of Art, is "... initially much more complicated." It is set in a big house, the host is a butler, waitresses carry Chihuahua, and when a chef is cut, the lost dish is fed to Chihuahua. "Food Network found the pilot episode" a bit too weird ", but decided to keep the premise of the show in an easier format.
The Chop episode takes about 12 hours to be recorded, with consideration after each round takes about 20 minutes. Judging is done by consensus among judges.
While the contestants did not know the previous material, they were given a tour to the kitchen before recording. Some initial tasks, such as heating the oven and bringing water to a boil, are done before each round.
The chef must be 19 or older to appear on regular occasions. Teens and children are sometimes invited to compete in special episodes.
