Pat of butter

A Pat of butter is a food ingredient made with the Cooking skill. Players can make one by churning a bucket of milk, which gives 40.5 Cooking experience, or a pot of cream, which gives 22.5 Cooking experience, in a dairy churn.

A pat of butter is used by adding it to a baked potato to make a potato with butter. After adding the butter, players can then add additional toppings

Purchasing Butter
Pats of butter can be bought in small quantities from the Culinaromancer's chest after starting the Recipe for Disaster quest. The stock is 10 and it respawns at a rate of 1 per minute.

Churning Butter
Butter can be made from buckets of milk or pots of cream using a dairy churn. Milk can be bought from milk sellers near Lumbridge and various places, which have a stock of 200 available, and can also be obtained for free from dairy cows if you bring your own buckets. Churning is relatively slow, taking 151 seconds to convert 28 milk to butter.

Churning from milk turns one bucket of milk into an empty bucket and a pat of butter, so if you wish to retain the buckets then only 14 butter can be made in one trip. However when churning milk with a full inventory the empty buckets will fall to the ground, and a full load of butter can be obtained. Since the buckets are obtained for free from the milk sellers, their loss isn't a problem. Churning from cream would also avoid the need to deal with buckets.

One of the fastest ways to churn butter is at Seers' Village. Start with an empty inventory, walk to Sinclair Mansion and buy 28 buckets of milk from the milk seller in the garden, then use the churn a short distance north. Use the lodestone teleport to return to Seers' Village. A dairy cow is also available at Sinclair Mansion.

Another method of churning butter (much slower, only suitable for players training Construction)
 * Use house teleport to player-owned house
 * Build oak larder
 * Search larder, take bucket of milk continuously until full inventory
 * Churn milk into butter in Zanaris (the dairy churn is very close to the bank)

If your house is in Yanille (requires level 50 Construction), simply run to the house portal from the bank, and use the dairy churn between the house and the bank, and return to the bank. Approximate round trip time for 28 pats of butter is 8 minutes, 6 minutes of which is spent churning. With 40.5 Cooking experience per pat of butter, you get 1,134 total experience for a full load.

Another option is that does not require buckets to be pre-purchased (Requires Lost City):


 * Go to the Zanaris bank, either have some money with you, or withdraw it from the bank.
 * Go south to the general store and buy 14 buckets. This way you will be able to retain them when you are done churning.
 * Go past the field east to the dairy cow and milk it.
 * Then go north-west to churn it into butter
 * Bank and repeat
