Burning food while cooking can be frustrating since burnt food is useless, causing a loss of both XP and fish. While cooking level is the main factor in determining burn rate, the location where you cook also plays a crucial role in saving XP and food. Other factors to consider include proximity to a bank if you plan to save your food and whether the location has any level or quest requirements. These aspects contribute to finding the best place to cook in OSRS.
Here is a summary of the best P2P places to cook food:
Requirement: Dragon Slayer II
The Myth’s Guild is located on the southwest tip of Feldip Hills. On the 2nd floor (US), there is a bank chest with a range one square away, making it the closest to a bank and the most efficient place to train cooking. There is no need to move at all while cooking here.
Requirement: Completion of Easy Kourend and Kebos Diary
The Hosidius kitchen is located in the northwest corner of Hosidius, east of the Mess. It has two cooking ranges, which are quite close to a bank and a water source. The cooking ranges provide an extra 5% increased chance of successfully cooking over standard cooking ranges. This increases to 10% with the completion of the elite Kourend and Kebos Diary.
Requirement: Hard Varrock diary or 99 cooking
The Cook’s Guild is located in a 3-story windmill west of Varrock. Entry to the guild requires only 32 cooking and a chef’s hat, cooking cape, max cape, varrock armour 3 or 4, but before players can use the bank, they must have completed the hard Varrock diary or have 99 cooking. This opens up an efficient cooking training method since the bank is close to the cooking range.
Here are the fastest methods to get to the Cook’s guild
No requirements
The Rogue’s Den is a hideout beneath a trapdoor in the Toad and Chicken Inn in Burthope. It is popularly known as where players can get the rogue’s outfit. Additionally, it has fire very close to a bank, probably the closest you can find anywhere in the game. The main drawback is that the burn rate is higher than with ranges for certain food since it is a fire. However, the time saved due to how close it is to the bank can compensate for the higher burn rate.
Here is a summary of the best F2P places to cook food:
In F2P, players don’t have many good cooking locations. There is a bank south of a cooking range in Al Kharid, which is about 22 spaces away, but it is still the closest one to a bank. To cook efficiently, move your camera so that you can click the bank directly from the cooking range and the cooking range from the bank, reducing the number of clicks you need to make.
The fastest way to get here is to use the toll gate west of Lumbridge which costs 10 GP or free, if the Prince Ali Rescue quest is completed.
Clan Hall is an instanced area accessible by members of a clan. It can be accessed through the blue portal at the southeast corner of the Grand Exchange. It contains an oven, south of the bank, and there are only about 24 spaces between them.
The fastest way to Clan Hall is to run there from Grand Exchange or Varrock.
There is a stove west of the bank in Edgeville where players can easily bank the food they cook and get more raw food. The main problem with this location is that players have to open the door leading to the stove. Although it stays open for a while, players have to reopen it anytime it closes.
