- The Secret Ingredient will be revealed on Wednesday, every 2 weeks (tentatively) at 3 PM EST. There is no need to sign up to be in the battle, simply submit your creation while the battle is active.
- The Ingredient will be chosen by an alternating Iron Chef. The Selecting Chef will then join the panel of judges (mods), including a reddit "celebrity."
- The competing chefs will then have until 12am EST on Sunday to finish as many dishes as they deem suitable, with all including the ingredient. number of dishes will not be considered in the final score, but may provide a tie breaker advantage in close battles.
- All chefs may use up to 2 sous chefs (honor system!) and must verify with a picture of the final dish, using a piece of paper with their username, date, and battle number. All recipes must be provided in your post, either in the submission or comments.
- Scoring will be on a rubric of 8 points for Recipe, 7 for Presentation, and 5 for Creativity. All scores will be averaged from the 3 judges.
- Winner will be announced on Monday and will receive the people's ovation and fame forever (and some flair for their username!)
