Another contestant was sent home during Monday's episode of MasterChef Australia.
Alita Harvey-Rodriguez tried her hand at recreating a viral dumpling lasagne, but it all went horribly wrong.
The 40-year-old presented the judges with ramekins filled with layers of rice paper and spiced beef.
However she was undone by her melted burrata topping, which drenched the entire dish.
The judges likened the result to wet meatloaf, and also questioned Alita's mix of Asian and Italian spices.
She was sadly sent home, with the judges telling the cook that too many elements in her dish had issues.
Alita admitted she was 'embarrassed' by her effort, but vowed to continue pushing herself in the kitchen.
Last Wednesday night's episode saw the season's youngest contestant was sent home.
Bella Di Conza, 20, was felled when her apple and cinnamon entremet dessert fell short.
While the flavours overall worked for some of the judges, the texture of the gel topping and the gluggy mousse were unimpressive.
The presentation of the dish was also lacklustre, after Bella had struggled to remove her entremet from the mould, leaving her grappling to cut it from the silicone base with scissors.
Bella's elimination left judge Poh Ling Yeow devastated and she sobbed as she farewelled the young cook.
'Bella, I am so broken-hearted for you right now. You are so young and you have so much talent,' Poh wept, tears streaming down her cheeks.
'I know you're going to be a superstar, and I want you to promise me that you're not going to let this moment define you,' she continued.
The judges likened the result to wet meatloaf, and also questioned Alita's mix of Asian and Italian spices.
Judge Poh Ling Yeow broke down as youngest MasterChef Australia contestant was sent home.
'It's what you actually do after this,' Poh added, before requesting a sweet hug from the departing chef.
Judge Jean-Christophe Novelli also had kind words for Bella, comparing her to a younger version of iconic chef Mary Berry.
Bella was gracious in defeat, promising that she would not give up her ambitions in the kitchen.
'I've learnt so much from this experience. I am proud of the way I've shown up every day in this competition and pushed myself,' she said.
'Poh made me promise that this is only the beginning and I'm going to stick to that promise,' she explained.
