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.

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 {{Skill|Mining}}, and the extremely high XP rates for cooking with the Furnace and Pot make the loss of experience from failed cooks not as painful as it would be on other skills.

At this point, the {{ItemIcon|Cooking Skillcape}} should be equipped to maximize success chance, unless the success chance for the item is already high. If the {{ItemIcon|Maximum Skillcape}} is unlocked, use it instead for the 5% global xp bonus as well.
Past level 99, many recipes start to require lower leveled cooked foods to craft. For example, the level 104 Furnace craft {{ItemIcon|Beef Mushroom Stew}} requires one serving of {{ItemIcon|Mushroom Soup}}, which itself requires one serving of {{ItemIcon|Basic Soup}}. Since all of these crafts typically have a lower XP/hr rate, it causes the actual XP/hr value of the main craft to be lower than expected.
With all 99+ crafts taken into account and adjusted for their pre-crafts, assuming zero item doubling and item preservation, soups still are the highest XP/hr craft from 99-120.

Due to many 99+ recipes requiring other food to craft, many recipes have their XP/hr rates effectively increased as ways to ignore the need for pre-crafts are used, such as item doubling or item preservation. As such, if township has been leveled up enough to purchase {{ItemIcon|Food Box I}} and {{ItemIcon|Food Box II}}, XP/hr numbers can be boost significantly. {{ItemIcon|Food Box I}}s and {{ItemIcon|Food Box II}}s contain all possible pre-crafts used for 99+ cooking with the exception of {{ItemIcon|Mushroom Soup}}. This lets you use higher XP/hr while ignoring making their precrafts.
XP/s values if pre-crafts are ignored:
