Cooking gauntlets

The Cooking gauntlets are a special pair of gloves that enhance the cooking process in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). These gloves are not just a stylish accessory for your cooking outfit; they provide a significant advantage when preparing certain food items. When worn, they prevent the burning of fish when cooking lower-level fish such as tuna, swordfish, and sharks, making them an essential item for any aspiring chef in Gielinor.

To obtain the Cooking gauntlets, players must complete the Cook’s Assistant quest and then speak to the Cooking Tutor in Lumbridge. Once acquired, these gauntlets can be worn alongside any cooking equipment, allowing for efficient food preparation and maximizing experience gains. The Cooking gauntlets are a prime example of how OSRS rewards players for their commitment to skill mastery, ensuring that every cook can achieve their culinary dreams without the fear of burnt offerings.

What are Cooking Gauntlets?

Cooking Gauntlets are a unique item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that enhance the cooking skill of players. When worn, these gauntlets provide a significant advantage by reducing the likelihood of burning specific types of fish and other foods while cooking. They are an essential item for players looking to maximize their cooking efficiency and achieve higher experience rates.

How to Obtain Cooking Gauntlets

To obtain Cooking Gauntlets, players must complete the quest “The Recipe for Disaster” up to the point where they unlock the “Cooking” subquest. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to acquire them:

Start the “Recipe for Disaster” quest at the Lumbridge Castle.
Complete the first subquest to gain access to the necessary cooking challenges.
After completing the cooking-related tasks, players will be rewarded with the Cooking Gauntlets.

The gauntlets are automatically equipped upon completion of the subquest, making it easier for players to begin reaping the benefits immediately.

Benefits of Wearing Cooking Gauntlets

Wearing Cooking Gauntlets provides several benefits that enhance the cooking experience:

Reduced Burn Rate: The primary benefit is a decreased chance of burning food items. For example, players have a 0% burn rate for certain fish like lobsters, shrimps, and trouts.
Higher Cooking Efficiency: With the reduced burn rate, players can cook more items per hour, leading to increased experience rates and profit from cooking.
Requirement for Certain Recipes: Some high-level recipes require the use of Cooking Gauntlets to cook without burning, making them crucial for those aiming for higher cooking levels.

Cooking Gauntlets vs. Other Cooking Gear

While there are other items that assist in cooking, such as the Chef’s hat and Cooking cape, the Cooking Gauntlets stand out for several reasons:

Item	Burn Rate Reduction	Additional Benefits
Cooking Gauntlets	0% for certain items	None
Chef’s Hat	None	+2 Cooking bonus
Cooking Cape	None	Teleport to Cooking Guild

Overall, while other items provide bonuses, the unique advantage of the Cooking Gauntlets is their specific impact on burn rates, making them indispensable for serious cooks.

Uses of Cooking Gauntlets in Different Scenarios

Cooking Gauntlets are particularly useful in various scenarios:

Training Cooking: When training cooking, players can cook items like lobsters and shrimps without worrying about burns, resulting in higher experience rates.
Profit-making: Utilizing Cooking Gauntlets when cooking items for profit, such as sharks or manta rays, ensures that players maximize their resources and reduce losses from burns.
High-Level Recipes: Certain high-level recipes, including fish pie and shark curry, benefit greatly from the use of Cooking Gauntlets to prevent burning and ensure quality dishes.

Combining Cooking Gauntlets with Other Skills

Cooking Gauntlets can also be combined with other skills for enhanced gameplay:

Fishing: Players can fish for items that are cooked with the gauntlets, improving the overall efficiency of cooking while training fishing.
