LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Crime Scene Kitchen' Season 3 invites new contestants to solve new thrilling baking mysteries to win a whopping prize ultimately. With only two minutes to scope out the kitchen and crack the code, the Fox show amateur chefs must think on their feet and showcase their baking genius.

To crack the code, contestants must stay ahead of the game by researching and mastering the latest baking trends and deciphering clues that reveal the secrets behind each dish. Bakers must have eagle-sharp eyes and CBI-level detective skills to scour the recently used kitchen, searching for every last crumb and clue to figure out what dessert was made. In this thrilling competition, clues are as crucial to success as the dishes themselves, making every detail a potential key to victory. Clues can take the form of crumbs, flour trails, and written hints, and can be discovered anywhere in the kitchen—hidden in the dustbin, on door handles, inside coffee cups, and even among plastic items



 

What are the hardest clues featured in 'Crime Scene Kitchen'?

'Crime Scene Kitchen' contestants have decoded multiple baking mysteries in the Fox show but some culinary riddles have truly put their detective skills to the test. In the premiere season, contestants encountered one of the most bizarre mysteries yet, featuring a clue that ultimately proved to be completely useless. Bakers were warned that if an item appeared empty or unused, it was likely just a misleading clue.

That's why the contestants ignored the coffee cup and couldn't figure out how that was connected to the mango peels in the fruit peeler or the cream cheese in the garbage. However, the contestants later found out they had to look for the name of the book on the coffee cup which will reveal a list of people bringing items for a potluck. No doubt, the coffee cup clue was the hardest and disastrous as no one was able to crack the mystery.
