My Kitchen Rules blonde bombshells Katie Brooke and Nikki Spehar might not look like your average butchers, and they're not afraid get their hands dirty.
Nikki, who works at Ivan's Butchery in Bella Vista, is the daughter of a butcher.
"My first job was when I was six-years-old was unknotting pig intestine for sausages," the 20-year-old said.
"I like it [being a butcher] because it's different jobs every day and people always come up and give you recipe ideas or you get to tell them what you've cooked."
She met teammate Katie, 21, at university. She also works in a butchery.
"The parts of personality that either me or her are missing, the other one fills," Katie said.
"I'm pretty decisive, I know what I want to do."
"And I'm the most indecisive person you'll ever meet," Nikki adds.
Nikki has been cooking for her large Croatian family since she was 12.
"I grew up in a Croatian family so it's a lot of cooking, and everything is centred around food. Every big holiday you'd have to help out cooking for 50 people."
Some of her favourite things to eat are stuffed cabbage leaves, stuffed capsicums and skinless sausages.
Katie's kitchen experience is mostly cooking for herself, but she said she loved experimenting with flavours and was a "whiz" when it came to knife skills.
"I do most of the prep as Nikki has more experience in the kitchen," she said.
Katie and Nikki will be cooking in the redemption round of My Kitchen Rules this week for their chance of staying in the cooking competition.
The show airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm.
