❓Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest way to train Cooking in OSRS?
The fastest Cooking training method is cooking Karambwan with the Hosidius kitchen (100% success rate at 99) or using the Cooking gauntlets. Karambwan provides 190 XP each and can be cooked at 500-600 per hour, giving 95K-114K XP per hour. For budget training, cooking wines at level 35+ gives 480K XP per hour and is profitable, though it involves no actual cooking. Cooking sharks at level 80+ with gauntlets is also fast at 300K+ XP per hour.
What are Cooking gauntlets and how do I get them?
Cooking gauntlets are reward from the Family Crest quest that significantly reduce the burn rate when cooking food. They essentially act as +6 invisible Cooking levels for preventing burns. They're essential for profitable high-level cooking and speed up training considerably. The gauntlets are highly recommended to obtain before training Cooking to high levels, as they allow you to stop burning certain fish earlier.
How do I stop burning food in OSRS?
You stop burning food by reaching certain Cooking levels for each food type. Wearing Cooking gauntlets reduces burn rate significantly (acts as +6 levels). Using the Hosidius kitchen (requires 100% Hosidius favour) provides a 5% reduction in burn chance. The Cooking cape at 99 prevents all food from burning. Each food type has a 'never burn' level where failure becomes impossible, which varies by food (e.g., sharks never burn at 94 with gauntlets).
Can you make money training Cooking?
Yes, Cooking can be profitable at higher levels! Cooking sharks (80+) provides 200K-300K GP per hour, cooking Anglerfish (84+) offers 250K-400K GP per hour, and cooking Dark crabs (90+) gives 300K-500K GP per hour. Making wines at level 35+ is both fast XP and profitable at 200K-400K GP per hour. The key is having high enough Cooking level to minimize burn rate, preferably with Cooking gauntlets or Hosidius kitchen.
What is the Hosidius kitchen and how do I access it?
The Hosidius kitchen is a special cooking range in Great Kourend that provides a permanent 5% reduction in burn chance for all food cooked there. To access it, you need 100% Hosidius favour, which takes approximately 2-4 hours to obtain through various activities like ploughing fields, making fertilizer, or cooking food for soldiers. The kitchen is highly beneficial for training Cooking efficiently and is used by most players training to 99.
What food should I cook for profit and XP?
For the best balance of profit and XP: Karambwan (level 30, requires Tai Bwo Wannai Trio quest) offers excellent XP and decent profit, Sharks (level 80+, with gauntlets) provide good profit and XP, Anglerfish (level 84) give great profit with good XP, and Dark crabs (level 90) offer the best profit with solid XP. Karambwan are the most popular choice as they're fast to cook, rarely burn with gauntlets, and provide consistent profit.
How long does it take to get 99 Cooking?
Getting 99 Cooking is one of the fastest skills, taking approximately 40-80 hours depending on methods. Using wines (480K XP/hour), it takes only 30-35 hours but costs some money. Cooking Karambwan (100K+ XP/hour) takes 130-140 hours and is profitable. Cooking sharks with Hosidius kitchen (300K+ XP/hour) takes 45-50 hours. Most players achieve 99 Cooking in 1-2 months of casual play, making it one of the easiest 99s.
