Cooking

Cooking is a skill that allows raw food to be made edible, healing hitpoints when eaten plus giving various buffs. To do this, the player uses raw, cookable food and heat.

Depending on the player's Cooking level, food will sometimes burn, becoming unusable. Cooking with raw fish also has a chance to produce fish oil. By leveling Cooking, the player is able to cook better foods that give increased healing and better buffs.

Cooking goes hand-in-hand with the Fishing and Foraging skills, as the player can cook using the ingredients they obtain.

Uses

• You can place it in your inventory to regenerate health in a fight
• Can be used to obtain various buffs that are useful for many skills
• Cooking fish has a chance to produce fish oil which can be used with the crafting skill to create pyre logs

Trivia

• A useful enchantment to have while cooking is the Cooking enchant. Wearing this while training cooking will cut down time and money due to less food being burnt. This is useful for food such as sharks where even at 99 you have the chance to burn them; with Cooking +6 you will stop burning sharks at level 74.
