So, you’ve got your hands on a pair of steel gauntlets from the Family Crest quest and you’re dreaming of becoming the next Gordon Ramsay of Gielinor? You’ve come to the right place! Transforming those clunky steel protectors into elegant cooking gauntlets is a relatively simple process. Here’s how you do it:
Take your steel gauntlets to Caleb, who resides in a house just north of the archery shop in Catherby. Speak to him, and he’ll enchant your gauntlets, transforming them into cooking gauntlets. The best part? If your gauntlets are still in their original steel form, this service is free! However, if they’ve already been enchanted with another effect, Caleb will charge you a fee of 25,000 coins to overwrite the existing enchantment. Simple as that! Now you’re ready to reduce that dreaded burn rate while cooking up some delicious fish.
