What is Steemit Iron Chef!?

If you are new on Steemit or reading about Steemit Iron Chef for the first time and you are interested to learn more on this unique cooking contest, I invite you to read all the different pinned posts in the Steemit Iron Chef Community!

In a nutshell, Steemit Iron Chef is a cooking contest which will be run each week till the end of year(2 ACTS of 15 rounds), and the theme will be based on a single different product each week which I select for them!

The participants have to sublimate that particular product in either a Starter or Main Course or Dessert!

On top of weekly prizes, the contestants are ranked on a league thanks to points that they get depending on their weekly results and they are eligible to get a share of the BIG REWARD POOL at the end of each ACT!

This pool is actually the wallet of @steemit-ironchef, all post rewards/contribution/donations are saved there until the end of each Act!

I again encourage you to read the pinned posts to get to know more on SIC!


Without losing too much time, let me reveal the theme/product for the first round of the first act of Steemit Iron Chef 2021!

STEEMIT IRON CHEF 2021 Act 01 Round 01

The product for you to work on for this first round is....

TOMATO!!!

All you have to do is simply sublimate this beautiful product, which is ever-present in practically all the kitchens around the world!
Prepare either a Starter or a Main Course or a Dessert with tomato as the main ingredient!

Before anyone asks, let me clarify that you can use any variety of tomato you wish...Cherry, Beefsteak, Green Zebra, Roma, San Marzano, Black Krim, Yellow pear...and the list goes on.


As in any contest, we need to set some rules to get things going in the right direction!

  • You will have to create a post and title your entry 'Steemit Iron Chef 2021 Act 1 Round 01 : Name of your dish' and post in the SIC community only!
  • Make either a starter or main course or dessert with the product of the week!
  • Only one entry per person is allowed.
  • Make sure to use #steemit-ironchef as your first tag, so that I don't miss your entry!
  • Only new recipes will be accepted, so I will need minimum one photo with your name and date on it.
  • I don't need to see your step by step preparations/recipes, just make the list of the products used, describe your dish and add some photos to get my attention! Make it sweet and simple!!!
  • Post a link of your entry on the announcement post and also share your entry on our discord channel - Steemit Iron Chef Discord Channel!
  • Sharing your post on Twitter using the tag Steemit and Steemitironchef is not mandatory, but very much appreciated.

The DEADLINE for submission is Friday 21st May 2021 10.00am UTC!

Any participant not following these simple rules will be considered a non validate entry.

Be the most creative , inventive and refined possible, you'll win a lot of points...


How entries will be marked???

For you guys to get an idea of how I will judge the entries, here is the evaluation sheet that I will use for each and every entry!

Please note that I will be the only one judging all the entries based on my 19 years career/experience as a professional Chef.


Example of a Steemit Iron Chef entry on Tomato!

Here is an example of a tomato dish I sublimated couple of years ago...only to give you an idea of what I am waiting for from the contestants...

Don't forget...I am looking for the Steemit Iron Chef 2021...so the level need to be high...hmmm very high!!!


Tomatoes Extravaganza - Stuffed, Tartar and Crispy Skin!

STEEMIT IRON CHEF 2021 ACT 1 LEAGUE

The total points earned each week by the contestants(see table above) will be sent on the below table to make the rankings of the Steemit Iron Chef 2021 ACT 1 League!

The one getting the most of points will top the league at the end of the First Act which comprises of 15 weeks/rounds!

The more consistent someone is in participating, the better chance to top the league!

The pool is saved on the @steemit-ironchef wallet and we are already at 16.7 STEEM! Each week I will be adding some more depending on how much I am earning on my posts.

It would be great if everyone can send whatever amount they can to grow this pot before the end of the 15 first rounds!

FYI in 2017...the pool distributed to 20 participants was 1005 STEEM!!!
Can we break that record!? Hmmm with your support...YES!!!
