Yes, the chefs are given a short list of possible themes and give the producers a list of ingredients they need for the show. If you're a fan of Iron Chef, you might want to check out the Iron Chef Spot over on Fanpop, they have lots of episodes and other stuff there:

The "secret" ingredient is chosen from a list of five possible ingredients that are given to the chefs prior to the filming of the show. While they don't generally know the actual one that will be used, the time they are given to plan certainly does not make it a surprise.
The link below deals with Iron Chef America, but I've read (can't find the link) that the original (Fuji TV) Iron Chefs and Challengers were given a list of possible secret ingredients too.

I desire ideal Chef. I in no way quite have been given into the different 2, however I watch Hell's Kitchen each now and returned, yet it quite is oftentimes the comparable element: Gordon yelling till his face glows crimson. With ideal Chef, i think of the judges are sturdy and the contestants they %. are unique and attraction to distinctive human beings. It additionally has quite some drama in between (I recommend, like shaving their hair off in season 2? Jeez.) yet quite, ideal Chef has super techniques for removing rounds and it quite tries to assist the contestants. it quite is a competent practice and it gets extreme at cases.

I beleve they have to know. TO come up with that many plates in an hour is impossible.

No, I don't think they do. Especially judging by their reactions sometimes.
I don't think it'd be all that hard if your whole life revolved around cooking. With all of the knowledge they've gained, they probably know what ingredients go with what flavors.

Yes, they know way in advance before taping the show.

Haha, it is hard to believe, but they don't. They don't have any idea what the secret ingredient until it is unveiled.
