While Cutthroat Kitchen often involves sabotages that take away a contestant's desired cooking utensils like knives or spatulas, most chefs would agree that the most valuable tool in the kitchen is one's hands. That's why this sabotage is especially diabolical: It makes sure that the contestants aren't allowed to touch their food without using some kind of tool to pick it up. The chef is given a pair of white gloves and isn't allowed to get them dirty under any cost, which causes major difficulty when trying to assemble a club sandwich, as it involves a plethora of ingredients: Chicken, salt, mayonnaise, lettuce, bacon and more. A lot of foods need to be handled, but is it possible to do so without using your hands?
