Burnt food

Obtaining burnt food
Burning food is a normal occurrence when training cooking. Burning can happen when the player's cooking level is not much higher than the level requirement to cook the food. It can also occur if a player cooks food that is already cooked when the burnt food is required for a quest. When cooking, using a range rather than an open fire will decrease the chances of burning it. Most food has a certain cooking level at which it will become impossible to burn. This level is decreased when a player is wearing Cooking gauntlets. Imps are known to drop burnt bread and burnt meat.

Trivia

 * Ruined chompy and Snake over-cooked are the only types of burnt food not prefixed with 'burnt'.
 * Burnt food is not worthless as it can be sold it to general stores for only 1 gold piece each but some player collectors pay a lot more.
