Ingredients Index

Analysis of Ready, Steady, Chuck!'s random ingredient types shows fruit and veg to be the most frequently-occurring Ready, Steady, Chuck! ingredient categories.

This page presents an alphabetical index of all the ingredients that have been used in the Ready, Steady, Chuck! Challenge since 1999, and links to the recipes that they have contributed to. The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that the list excludes the ingredients in the 2009 Party Specials and those made during play testing of Junior Ready, Steady, Chuck! - Home Edition, omitted because they were not created in the competitive arena.

The most frequently occurring ingredients to have been randomly selected to date are potatoes, cola and cheese & onion crisps, although thankfully these have never all occurred together within the same dish. However, if flavour is not taken into consideration, the most popular ingredient is yoghurt.
