Ep 4. All Hammed Up!

In the fourth episode of BBQ Pitmasters season 3, the competition heats up as the pitmasters take on an all ham challenge. With a grand prize of $10,000 on the line, the competitors bring their A-game as they prepare and cook some of the best hams in the country.

The first challenge is a blind tasting where the contestants must present their best ham dish to a panel of judges without revealing their identities. The judges score each dish based on flavor, tenderness, appearance, and originality. The contestants must impress the judges with their unique take on the classic ham dish.

In the second challenge, the contestants have to cook an entire ham and a variety of sides. Each contestant is given a whole ham and has to cook it to perfection, ensuring that it’s tender and full of flavor. They also have to prepare a variety of sides, including vegetables, mac and cheese, and cornbread.

The third challenge is a BBQ Pitmasters staple – the judges’ table. The judges sample the hams and sides and give detailed feedback on each dish. This is where the contestants learn what they did right, what they could have done differently, and where they rank among the other contestants.

As always, the competition is intense and the contestants are all vying for the coveted grand prize. But beyond the prize money, the competitors are passionate about the art of barbecue and the satisfaction that comes from cooking the perfect ham. The competitors showcase their skills and their creativity as they experiment with different flavor combinations and cooking methods.
