Cooking Gauntlets Stop burning all food?

[bickers070]

today i decided to send a message to jagex about if cooking gauntlets affect the burn rate of monks and got this interesting reply

 

 

 

Thank you for your question.

 

 

 

The cooking gauntlets do reduce the chances of burning food but the exact ratio for this is a closely-guarded secret here at Jagex (so well guarded it is on a scroll in a flame-proof container around the neck of the much-feared King Black Dragon we have as a pet here!).

 

 

 

I hope this answers your query and Happy Gaming. :)

so this mean that cooking gauntlets affect the bun rates on all foods now ?

Examine them it used to say useful for cooking fish.

 

 

 

What does it say now theres your answer

[Berrakus]

This sounds like a typical response from someone at Jagex who does not know the answer to your question. They give a vague answer/say it's a secret and then through in some random RS references. I doubt the guantlets have changed.

[SupportMage]

I hear the Monk burning rate is at a not-zero but hardly noticable change. But seeing as how I destroyed my gauntlets last week I don't care to check.

I would think that the answer is no. They have the list in the Cooking FAQ in the Knowledge Base and monkfish isn't listed:

 

 

 

Are there any items that prevent you from burning food so often?

 

 

 

Yes. After completing the Family Crest quest you will get the option to obtain a pair of Cooking Gauntlets as part of the quest reward. While wearing these gauntlets you will burn fewer lobsters, swordfish and sharks.

its unly usefull for these commonly cooked fish:

 

 

 

Shark, Swordfish, Lobsters and Tuna

I read somewhere(i think it was zybez cooking guide)that they had a huge study, and it improved cooking rates by abotu 2.5% on monks. I dont think it affect anything else. The examine says its for fish..so..think.

[Master_Smither]

Pretty sure it's just for fish......

Looks like the Item Researchers have to head off to the Lava Maze. :P

From what i have cooked it seems to me that my cooking gauntlets only affect fish. I dont not know about lower level fish but cooking gauntlets help me burn only 3 swordies a load while w/o i burn 6-7

Well with gaunts, cooking beer and 99 cook summer pies and a few other things can still be burned. But if gaunts dont do anything for pies that might explain why.

I've been looking at 99 fishing through monkfish and got to wondering about the burn rates and how many I'd need to catch for a certain cooking lvl. Well I caught ~2300 and then went to the Rogue's Den. I recorded the amount of burnt and cooked at the end. Right after I got through with this trial I got 86 cooking. Well after a few weeks and the mining trials in between I wanted to get back to doing the second half of my experiment. I just got finished with another 2300 monkfish load to test and cooked them without wearing the gaunts.

 

 

 

Here are the results:

 

 

 

With gaunts: started with 2304 raw - 116 burnt, 2118 cooked

 

Without gaunts: started with 2300 raw - 176 burnt, 2124 cooked

 

 

 

This breaks down into 5.03% burnt at 85 cooking with gaunts and 7.65% burnt at 86 cooking without gaunts.

 

 

 

I realize the cooking level can skew the results but the order in which I did the process shows at least that the gaunts work. If the gaunts do not work the amount burnt would be the same or decrease as my cooking level goes up. However as is shown it got worse even with the added benefit of a cooking lvl difference. Also the percent isn't that great between the two sets but with a sample of over 2000 I would expect consistent results.

 

 

 

I don't find these results very startling between the two sets but I would be curious to see how they would be at a lower cooking lvl. It makes me wonder if the benefit these types of items give is a proportional one, that at a low lvl they provide a significant boost whereas at a higher lvl they steadily approach your "natural" level's abilities.

 

 

 

Conclusion: They work.

 

 

 

Now time to go back to collecting more random data to annoy everyone with. :mrgreen:
