The big international competition
Pacojet Challenge 2024
Who will be the pacotizing® champion?
The first successful Pacojet 4 Challenge took place in 2023 with candidates from German-speaking countries. Now we are taking the competition to an international level. The challengers? Ambitious and passionate chefs from four countries who want to put their culinary skills to the test with the Pacojet 4. The goal? To be crowned pacotizing® champion at the grand finale in Switzerland.
4 countries - one competition
Initially, three candidates from Canada, Norway, Italy and Denmark compete in a pacotizing® battle with a Pacojet 4 and, as the winner, get to keep the device. In the grand finale in Switzerland, the winners from each country will compete against each other for the Pacojet Challenge 2024 trophy. We look forward to extraordinary creations from chefs from a wide range of culinary backgrounds, innovative ideas for working with the Pacojet and lots of fun at the first international pacotizing® competition!
