Cooking

From the Pantheon Wiki

Cooking turns raw fish, meat, and other ingredients into edible food that restores Hitpoints. Higher Cooking levels reduce burn rates. The Cooking gauntlets from the Family Crest quest further reduce burns on fish. Cooking is one of the most straightforward skills to max.

Pantheon notes: At 150x XP rates, Cooking 99 is achievable in a single focused session. Tempoross on Pantheon rewards raw fish supply crates — cook those for dual XP gains. Cook at the Rogues' Den range for the lowest burn rate on lobsters and above, combined with Cooking gauntlets.
