Dragon Cauldron (1991) by Chinese-American author Laurence Yep is the third book in his Dragon tetralogy. The story picks up where Dragon Steel left off. Exiled dragon princess Shimmer together with Thorn, Indigo, Civet, and Monkey attempt to get Baldy's cauldron repaired so that they can restore the Lost Sea, the waters of which Civet had used in Dragon of the Lost Sea to blow up the city of River Glen.

To begin this event, you must first find Gourmet Zotam. He can be found in Realm 15 Doom Bog, just north of Brigand's Keep (coordinates 82, -93). He's hard to miss, because he's constantly talking about the Dragon Cauldron to anyone nearby who will listen. The person who starts the event must give Gourmet Zotam a large sum of gold, and he will then give out Fireproof Ladles to a number of people who talk to him afterwards:

Gourmet Zotam will announce to the server every few minutes that someone has started the event. Over the following 10 minutes, the number of people corresponding to the amount of gold spent will be able to accept the Dragon Cauldron quest from Gourmet Zotam to receive a Fireproof Ladle. This quest (and the corresponding item) will expire after 40 minutes.
