Cook the highest level {{Skill|Fishing|fish}} available, while upgrading the [[Cooking#Cooking_Fires|cooking fire]] to the highest available level. [[Cooking#Furnaces|Furnaces]] and [[Cooking#Pots|pots]] will not significantly speed up your leveling, but can provide a small amount of extra cooks if you choose to make items with them. Performing actions like passive cooking will not slow down training, but passive cooks do not gain experience. Passive cooking is strictly for gaining more food while cooking.


Using {{ItemIcon|Cooking Gloves}} will increase your chances of successfully cooking, which will increase the rate of training by making sure you are more consistently gaining experience.
Cook the highest level {{Skill|Fishing|fish}} available until you unlock the [[Cooking#Furnaces|Furnace]] and [[Cooking#Pots|Pot]] recipes. Then cook the highest level baked good (furnace) or soup (pot) available. Use {{Skill|Farming}} to maintain the [[Farming#Allotments_2|Allotments]] required for these recipes.
 
Upgrade the [[Cooking#Cooking_Fires|Cooking Fire]], [[Cooking#Furnaces|Furnace]], and [[Cooking#Pots|Pot]] to the highest possible level at all times. The lowest requirements for the Furnace and Pot are:
# [[Cooking#Furnaces|Furnace]]: {{SkillReq|Smithing|15}}, {{SkillReq|Firemaking|15}}, 500 {{ItemIcon|Normal Logs}}, 500 {{ItemIcon|Bronze Bar}}
# [[Cooking#Pots|Pot]]: {{SkillReq|Smithing|25}}, 400 {{ItemIcon|Bronze Bar}}
 
Passive cooking will not slow down or speed up training; passive cooking is strictly for gaining more food while cooking. Passive cooking can be used as a way to cook off small amounts of excess fish or allotments for eating or selling, but in general, as it does not provide Skill XP or item Mastery XP, it can be ignored.
 
Using {{ItemIcon|Cooking Gloves}} will increase your chances of successfully cooking, which will increase the rate of training while at low mastery levels by making sure you are more consistently gaining experience. As all food
 
Alternatively, you can benefit from the lower success chance at low mastery levels by using the {{ItemIcon|Pig}} and {{ItemIcon|Mole}} [[Summoning#Unlocking_And_Using_Synergies|Synergy]] to generate a high level of {{ItemIcon|Coal Ore}}. Using this synergy for as long as necessary is highly recommended as the coal output ''far'' exceeds that of Mining, and the extremely high XP rates for cooking with the Furnace and Pot make the loss of exp from failed cooks not as painful as it would be on other skills.
