Cooking : PROFIT/LOSS?

[Dustein]

You guys also have to take into account that you can burn the item you're cooking, which still puts you into a hole.

You stop burning most fish when you reach a high enough level, and at a lower level with Cooking Gauntlets. You stop burning sharks at level 94 with the gauntlets on.

Not really, it's only like a 5m loss though.

Making pineapple pizzas at 65+ might still be good money, I haven't checked the prices in a while though

problem with pineapple pizzas is that the materials are hard to get. cheese doesnt exactly buy over G.E.

 

[OstridgeSlayer]

Well making tuna potatoes is still profitable

 

[X Contacz]

yes u can cook and not lose nothing nor gain

 

[Determinate]

Tuna is decent cook xp in f2p. Only 3 gp loss per fish as well, and you barely burn them.

If you're careful about what you cook you can get through to level 90+ without a loss, from there you can make money cooking high level food. If you want the cape fast tho, just spend the few mil and get it over with.

This, with the time you save, you can easily make the extra cash back, by doing some sort of moneymaking activity/skill.

It is so much easier to get 99 cooking and just make the money back at green drags.

Raw Tuna = 100
Tuna = 97
Loss/Profit = -3gp

Tuna needed from 30-99 = 130,209

Total loss = 130,209 x 3 = 390627gp..

So 99 cooking for 400k...not bad eh? ( THIS IS THE BEST WAY FOR COST TO SPEEDNESS WISE RATIO)

OR you could do

Raw Salmon = 70
Salmon - 71

Loss/Profit of = -1gp

To be Cooked = 144,676
Loss total of 144k.

Tuna is best.

Using raw sharks will give you just a small lose. Also you can do lobsters and you lose 5-8m from 70-99 cooking.
