			Since 28 September 2026, every cook at a roast pit that comes out cooked can drop one of two cosmetics:
			* '''[[Chef Hat]]''' — 1 in 40,000 chance per cook.
			* '''[[Apron]]''' — 1 in 20,000 chance per cook.
			* The Chef Hat is rolled first, so one cook drops at most one piece. Burnt food never rolls; chicken never burns, so every chicken cook rolls. No [[Relics\|relic]] changes these odds.
			* The piece goes to your cosmetic bag. If the bag is full, the piece is lost — the cook itself still goes through.
			* Free accounts (holding under 1,000 [[$KINS]]) never receive these drops.
