Cooking
Intro
Cooking is a necessary skill to succeed in Runescape. That doesn't mean
you need a high cooking, but a level of around 20 will benefit you greatly in
ways you cant even think of now. This can be especially useful when
combined with Fishing, so you can fish then cook your food to sell at a higher
price. If you choose to be a PKer, then you can cook your own food, saving
you thousands of coins, let alone time. Even if you choose a
"career" that has nothing to do with cooking, you can use it for
quests and other such things.
Recipes
Flour Recipes
These recipes need to be
cooked on a range as they need to be baked, not cooked on a fire.
- Pick some wheat to get grain, and get a pot for every grain
you have.
- Go to the windmill northwest of Lumbridge, or, if you can
get in, go to the cooks guild.
- Go to the top floor of the windmill and use the grain with
the hopper, then operate the hopper. Repeat for every grain you have (do not
put more than one grain on the hopper before you operate it).
- Go to the first floor of the windmill and put each flour in
a pot. If you don't put the flour in a pot, it will disappear after about
three minutes.
- To make dough, fill a jug or bucket with water and use the
water with the flour.
- Select bread, pastry (pies), or pizza dough, depending on
what you are going to make. If you are making bread, cook the dough on a
stove.
- Make pastry dough.
- Get a pie dish and put the dough in the pie dish*.
- Get your filling (redberries, cooked meat, or cooking apple**),
and put it in the pie.
- Cook the pie on a stove. If you burn the pie, you can reuse
the pie dish by emptying it.
*You
need a crafting level of 3 to make a pie dish.
**Cooking
apples are found only in the cook's guild, which requires level 32 to get in.
- Make pizza dough. You can also buy
pizza dough for 4 gp in the bandits village in the wilderness.
- Buy a tomato and cheese at the food store in Port Sarim, or
get them in the house in Draynor Village, or the bandits village. Put the
tomato on the pizza, then the cheese. Cook the pizza on a stove.
- If your cooking level is high enough, you can add a topping*.
Note that the hard part of making pizza is cooking the pizza, and you cannot
ruin the pizza by adding a topping. You can add cooked meat*, cooked
anchovies**, or a pineapple slice*** (members only).
*Required
levels: Plain = 35, Meat = 45, Anchovy
= 55
**Anchovies
require level 15 fishing to catch (with a net in the ocean).
***To
make pineapple pizza (level 65, members only), pick a pineapple (in the jungle
on Karamja Island) and cut it with a knife. You will get four pineapple rings,
which you can put on four cooked pizzas.
Cake (Plain
and Chocolate)
- Get a cake tin from the cooks guild and a bucket.
- Make dough.
- Get an egg from a chicken farm, and put milk in your
bucket.
- Mix the egg, flour, and milk into the cake tin.
- Cook the cake on a stove. After the cake is cooked, it is
no longer in the cake tin, so you can reuse the tin for the next cake. Be
sure your inventory has room for both the cake and tin, or you will drop the
cake.
- If your cooking level is high enough, you can add chocolate
to the cake (available in the cooks guild or food store).
You need a cooking level of 40 to make plain cake, and 50 for
chocolate cake.
Stews, Curries, and Wines
- Get a bowl* and put water in it.
- Put a potato (available in some farm fields) and cooked
meat in the bowl.
- To make curry (members only), buy or steal spice** from the
spice stall, and add it to the uncooked stew.
- Cook the stew on a stove or a fire. If you burn the stew,
you can empty the bowl and reuse it.
*You
need level 5 crafting if you want to make the bowl (or get it from the cooks
guild)
**You
need a thieving level of 65 to steal the curry from the spices stall in
Ardougne (it costs 230gp if you don't steal it).
- Fill a jug with water. You can't use a bucket to make wine.
- Get some grapes from the cooks guild** and use them with
the water. You will have either regular wine or bad wine. You can still
drink the bad wine but it will not restore hit points. The only way to reuse
your jug if you make bad wine is to drink the bad wine.
*Wine
requires a cooking level of 35
**You
need a chef's hat to get into cook's guild to get grapes
