Effectiveness	Cooking level Requirement	Details	Other Requirements
*****	Level 7	Go to the potato field north of Ardougne and collect potatoes. Across the road from the potato field is a farmer's house with a range in it. Cook the potatoes on the range bank them in Ardougne, and repeat. Baked potatoes sell for about 261 coins each. this can also be done by buying the potatoes off the GE and still get almost double profit.
*****	Level 14	Brew cider. Cider is used for the Seers' Village Diary. It is hard to obtain on the Grand Exchange, so it may be useful.	Ghosts Ahoy is strongly recommended as there is a brewery here to make cider.
***** 140k/Hour	Level 35	You can cook uncooked pizza. There are three ways of obtaining pizza base: Buying it at the Grand Exchange for 132 coins each (fastest method), buying from Fat Tony in the Wilderness Bandit Camp for 4 coins each, or made in Cooking Guild or a player-owned house (slowest method). You can get tomato and cheese for 65 and 108 each respectively, or get them from Fat Tony, the Culinaromancer's chest, or Aggie's house. Uncooked pizzas sell for 1,646 coins each. If all materials are purchased from the Grand Exchange, the net profit per pizza is 1341 coins per pizza.
*****	Level 38	Pats of butter sell for 817 coins and are comparatively easy to make, though time-consuming. Take a bucket of milk (either bought for 106 coins on the Grand Exchange, obtained from any cow with a bucket in inventory, or bought from the Culinaromancer's chest) to a dairy churn and churn the milk into butter. Alternately you can churn cream into butter. The churn at the Cooking Guild is close to the Grand Exchange, but the churn in Zanaris (requires Lost City) is closer to a bank.
*****	Level 50	Get wrapped oomlie for 82 coins, cook it and sell it for 749 coins
***** 1,100,000	Level 55	Another money-making method that involves pizza is upgrading previously cooked pizzas. At the Grand Exchange, buy plain pizza and anchovies, combine them, and sell the anchovy pizzas back for a profit of 1366 coins. This may not seem like much, but considering how little time it takes to add anchovies to one pizza (you can do 14 pizzas in about 30 seconds), you can easily make 1,147,440 coins per hour (assuming 30 seconds making the pizza and 30 seconds banking). You also get 39 Cooking experience for each pizza you upgrade in this fashion, for about 65,520 experience per hour. (this trick is no longer good as plain pizza's don't buy)
*****	Level 60	With a supply of bowls, potatoes, cooked meat and spices, you can make curry, which sells for 1,255 coins each.
*****	Level 65	Players can buy plain pizzas and pineapple rings on the grand exchange, combine them, and sell the resulting pineapple pizzas. Players make upwards of 200 coins per pizza, and can make a load of 14 pizzas in 30 seconds. This means that players can make upwards of 300,000 coins per hour with this method. Plain pizzas can also be obtained at the Warriors' Guild, and pineapples obtained for a minimal price of 2 coins from Arhein on the docks at Catherby, however his stock is limited to 40 per day or you can buy pineapples from Heckel Funch on the 2nd floor of the Grand Tree for 2 coins aswell but you can only buy 10 at one time and they take a while to re-stock. The completed pineapple pizzas currently sell for 1,847 coins. Buying pineapples and carving out the rings manually takes a bit longer, but may prove more profitable than buying the rings directly from GE. (This trick is no longer good as plain pizza's don't buy.
*****	Level 68	Tuna potatoes, one of the best foods in the game, sell for about 2,043 coins each. If you farm the sweetcorn and potatoes, craft the bowls, churn the butter, and fish and cook the tuna yourself, you will get maximum profit per potato. However, this method can take a long time, as it takes around 40 minutes to grow a batch of potatoes and sweetcorn. If you want to buy the ingredients yourself, then the cost of a bowl, ear of sweetcorn, baked potato, pat of butter and cooked tuna is 1297 coins. This means you will only get 746 coins per potato, but since this method is decidedly faster, it is recommended if you are cooking tuna potatoes for experience and profit. A range is required to cook tuna potatoes, and the range in Lumbridge castle (requires Cook's Assistant completed) is close to a bank. If you have completed Recipe for Disaster, the chest under Lumbridge castle contains limited supplies of bowls and butter.
*****	Level 70	Curry is a popular food which is generally in high demand. Making curry from scratch is a bit of a task and stops burning at 74 cooking. The process is quite lengthy and can be very boring, but using it to 99 cooking can be very profitable. The fastest method is to buy the potatoes (89 coins), add them, then add your choice of meat (chicken or beef), and some spice (430) or three curry leaves (1,053) to a bowl of water. Due to the GE restriction on buying more than 100 bowls per hour, the best method is to buy them from Falador general store, fill them with water outside and then bank. This method will gain roughly 155 coins profit and 280 cooking exp each.
