Burnt food

Burnt food is the product of burning raw or cooked food. Burnt food is inedible and considered worthless, thus it is common for players to discard burnt food by dropping it. Most burnt foods are grey in colour. All burnt foods are tradeable, but not on the Grand Exchange.

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. Imps are known to drop burnt bread and burnt meat. Burnt food is also a requirement for a quest, so can be proved useful.
