The second round was an Invention Test, with the finalists having to produce something that represented how far they'd come in the competition. They had 2 hours and 15 minutes to complete their dishes. Michael made a butter-poached lobster with fennel, Kate a roasted breast of quail. Both finalists progressed well, although Michael's decision to leave the tails on his leeks and add extra champagne to his sauce were ill advised. The scoring saw Kate racing back, with 9s across the board, but Michael could only manage two 8s and a 7.

The final Pressure Test round welcomed one of the world's best chefs, Renandeacute; Redzepi, to the kitchen, who lifted a cloche to reveal the supremely technical 'Snowman' dessert the finalists would need to make. Featuring meringue, yoghurt and carrot sorbet amongst its many elements, this was undoubtedly one of the trickiest dishes ever seen on MasterChef Australia, yet both Michael and Kate proved their worthiness by plating up incredible dishes.

Once again scoring 9s, Kate took the Pressure Test win, and with it became MasterChef 2011 champion.
