Auditioners registered themselves via forms at the series' website, and then called for auditions at the venue, to which they bring their cold dishes. Those who gain two yeses from the judges then gain the red apron for the next round.

In the second round, the selected auditioners face a live cooking challenge, where in one hour they have to present their dishes to the judges. Half of those who attended are eliminated at this stage, and the rest are "white apron" auditioners selected to proceed further.

In the third round, half of those selected have to face a boot camp challenge where their cutting skills and speed are judged. Here a further selection occurs, with only 16 or 17 participants moving on.

In the first season, unlike India and Australia, MasterChef did not air audition episodes, but directly aired with the selected initial contestants. The first season follows the live cooking challenge round and the boot camp challenge.
