Cooking

Cooking

Cooking ; is a skill that allows a player to cook raw food into food that you can eat. Cooking goes hand in hand with the fishing skill as the player can cook the fish they obtain shortly after a full inventory is made. If no stove/range is nearby, having an axe and tinderbox equipped can allow the player to cut down a tree and make a fire to cook the fish on (however, there is a significantly smaller chance of burning the food if it is used on a range). By levelling up cooking the player is able to cook the more profitable foods such as lobsters, swordfish, monkfish and shark. By eating cooked food you gain lost hitpoints which is useful for training your combat skills. Lobsters are popular among players that wish to train their combat as they heal a great deal of hitpoints and are considerably less expensive than sharks.

Training
To begin  Cooking, go to your magic spell book and click on the Skill Teleport. Head over to where it says Fishing & Cooking. As you travel to this place, you arrive to many linking docks. To begin you will need to find a cooking range. There is a cooking range in one of the small houses on the side. When you enter, you may wish to buy shrimps from Charlie the cook instead of fishing for them.
Link your raw shrimp/other to the cooking range. You will most likely get alot of burnt food as a beginner to its level. As you increase levels, the previous fish's will be all cooked, with none being burned.
