RuneScape/Skills/Cooking

In RuneScape food is essential for combat and trade. Foods provide healing (hitpoints/life). The most nurishing foods reqire cooking, baking, fermenting, and\or brewing. As with all skills the more you practice the better you will get, but in cooking at lower levels you may burn food. Burning makes it in inaccessible to eat or sell. As your level in creases you will burn less and less food.

Hot Drinks

Add the nettles to the bowl and cook on a stove or fire. Use said bowl with a cup, you may choose to add milk.

Brewing
Ales


 * Two buckets of water
 * Two Barley Malt
 * Main ingredient (Varies depending on the type of ale you want from; Apple mush, Hammerstone hops, Asgarnian hops, harralander and so on. Quanity also varies.)
 * Pot of Yale Yeast.

You need to put the buckets of water in an empty VAT followed by the barley malt and then the main ingredient and finally the yeast which has to be bought from local brewers.

Note: The process of fermenting can take up to a full day so if you plan to brew ales be prepared by having something else to do while you wait or just come back in a few days time.

Vegetables
Vegetables basically consist of a baked potato with a topping of some kind. The toppings must be made separately and then added to the potato. The better toppings require high farming levels or lots of money to obtain.

Potato: grow using the farming skill or pick on any NPC farm and bake on a range (NOT a fire).

Toppings:


 * These count as foods on their own but it is better to add them to baked potatoes for better healing.


 * Always add butter first and then add whatever topping you wish to use.


 * Diary products: Milk a diary cow and use the bucket of milk on a churn, these can be found at most of the RuneScape farms. Milk can be churned into cream, butter, or cheese. Cream can be churned into butter or cheese and butter can be churned into cheese if you make a mistake with selecting what you want.


 * Tomato and Scrambled Eggs: Add an egg to a bowl with a knife in your inventory, then cook the bowl of eggs on a range/fire. Add a tomato to a bowl with a knife in your inventory. Use the bowl of tomatoes with the bowl of scrambled eggs.
