Cooking

Introduction

There is a wide range of food you can cook in Runescape. Food is very useful, as it heals lost life points. As you practice this skill, you will burn less food, and you will be able to make better food which heals more. To cook the food, you have to use it on a range or a fire. Meat and fish can just be cooked, but bread dough have to be made before you cook it.
