What is cooking?
Cooking is a skill that allows you to use raw food to be made edible, healing hitpoints when eaten. To do this, the player must use a raw, cookable food on a range or fire. Cooking goes hand in hand with the Fishing skill.

Cooking gauntlets
The cooking gauntlets give you a higher chance to cook food as I said. You can get them from the skilling point store. Run to the north of Edgeville bank or use ::shops to get there. You can also buy them from players.
The skilling cape
If you reach level 99, you will get the skillcape and hood automatically. When lost, you can get it from the skillcape store for 27m or the (t) for 45m. Run north-west of Edgeville bank or use ::shops and run west to get there. When worn, the cape makes you unable to burn any piece of food cooked. It does, however, not give any increased xp rates in the skill.
