Cooking is a skill in RuneScape Classic that allows players to cook raw food. It is considered to be a production skill, because the player is producing cooked food from raw meats.

Overview

Cooking allows players to cook raw food into cooked food. First, a player needs a raw food item and a fire or range to cook it on. Raw food can be obtained from the fishing skill as well as the remains dropped from various monsters. There is a slight possibility that players can burn the food, in which it becomes useless to eat. It should also be noted that ranges have less of a chance of burning food, and the Lumbridge Castle range has even less of a chance of burning food which can be used by the player after completion of the Cook's Assistant quest. Additionally, the higher a player's Cooking level is, the lower of a chance there is of burning food.

Various food items are able to heal different amounts. Some can heal a little amount, while others can heal a player by a large amount (up to 21 hits). Generally, the higher the cooking level required to cook an item, the more it heals.

Food

Different types of food can be made with the cooking skill:

	Fish
	Pies
	Pizzas
	... and others

Additionally, there are several different kinds of gnomish recipes which are possible for the player to make:

	Cocktails
	Battas
	Bowls
	Crunchies

For more information, see the food and gnome cooking articles.

Starting out as a slow skill, Cooking becomes one of the quickest to level when failure rates decrease. It is easily trained alongside Fishing. At lower levels, food has a high chance of burning, and progressively lowers depending on the player's Cooking level. Burnt food is usually discarded, as it bears no monetary benefits nor usefulness. Upon completion of the Family Crest quest, you may obtain Gauntlets of Cooking. Wearing them while Cooking will reduce the chance of burning fish. The effect is approximately equal to Cooking level boost of 9.
