The Culinaromancer's Chest is a special chest accessible to members during and after the Recipe for Disaster quest. It is located in Lumbridge Castle's cellar but is invisible until the player reaches the point in Recipe for Disaster where Gypsy Aris stops time, spawning multiple sub-quests. It has a bank, a food store that sells items for the Cooking skill, and a combat item store. The combat store sells metal gloves that act as armour and give offensive bonuses and Kitchen weaponry utensils, which act as analogues to increasingly powerful weapons.

As the player progresses through the quest, greater access to the chest is granted, with more items of food, better gloves, and more powerful utensils available for purchase.

This is a members-only chest from a members-only quest. It cannot be used on a free-to-play world, even by a member, though it can be seen in those worlds.

There are limits on the number of each item, and those limits rise as the player completes more phases of the Recipe for Disaster quest. Many stock items are limited to 10 items with completion of the full quest, but some are limited to slightly less or much more.

Items purchased from the store respawn over time until their limit is reached. The respawn time seems to be one of each item per minute for most items. However, some are slower: pizza base and spice respawn once every 5 minutes, grapes once every 6 minutes, chocolate bars once every 6 minutes 51 seconds, and flour once every 20 minutes 33 seconds.

On 9 September 2009 the maximum stock of cooking apples was raised from 10 to the original amount of 50. All other quantities remained unchanged.

Metal gloves usable as armour can be bought here. All ten types/colours of these are called "Culinaromancer's gloves #" ingame and have no usage requirements other than progressing in the Recipe for Disaster quest. These gloves resemble the normal metal classes (bronze through dragon) plus basic gloves and barrows gloves. The barrows gloves appear exactly like barrows equipment but do not have to be repaired like the gear. The gauntlets that can be received as rewards from the Fist of Guthix minigame of equivalent metal have different stats.

For example, the black gauntlets have a +6 in slash and crush defence, a +5 in slash ranged and summoning defence, and a -1 in magic defence. The only attack bonuses are -1 in magic and range. However the black gloves from the culinaromancer's chest have a +3 in magic and summoning, as well as a +5 in stab, slash, crush, range, and strength attack as well as a +3 in magic attack. Although it is up to you to decide what armour you wear the Recipe for Disaster gloves give attack bonuses as well as magic attack and defence bonuses, therefore the plusses in attack and magic defence make up for the lack of defence compared to the gauntlets. That, coupled with the fact that you don't have to earn a special currency to buy them, can mean a cheaper better armour type.

Each time a subquest is completed, the next type of glove is buyable from the chest. Basic gloves are available after the first subquest is completed, the metal gloves are revealed as each member of the secret council is rescued, and only players who have fully completed Recipe for Disaster may buy the Barrows gloves.

There is also a selection of kitchen weaponry, each of which have combat statistics equivalent from bronze to rune weapons. These are generally only used for show and jokes, but they are quite usable as weapons.

The gloves bought from this store cannot be traded, but the kitchen weaponry can be.

On 31st January 2012 the gloves were renamed to be "Culinaromancer's gloves" and a number was placed after the name starting at 1, with basic gloves, to 10 with barrows gloves, as opposed to "Gloves."
