Kitchen

The Kitchen in a Player-owned house is a room that can be built at level 5 Construction, for 5,000 coins.

In the kitchen, players have their own water supply, a fire or range to cook their food, and a larder where players can get their Cooking materials.

The larder and shelves contain items for making tea, which boosts your construction by 1-3 points, depending what grade of shelves the cup came from. These items are free, but they take up time and inventory space and are better used for adding to the house than training. To make tea, fill the kettle with water and boil the water on the stove. Add tea leaves followed by boiling water to the teapot, then pour the tea into a cup. Add milk if you like. Tea supplies will disappear when you leave the house.

As shown, there are 7 Hotspots available:


 * Barrel
 * Table
 * Stove
 * Larder
 * Shelf
 * Sink
 * Basket

Barrel
Ales obtained from barrels in a Player-owned house cannot be taken out of the house. However, the boosts can be obtained by drinking the ale from within the house, for the same effect. Keep in mind that to build any barrel, you must have the cooking level required to brew that item in addition to the construction level necessary. For example, to build a Dragon Bitter Barrel, you must have level 36 construction and level 39 cooking. Also, any type of ale obtained from other barrels in the house can NOT be used to build more beer barrels. (i.e. 8 glasses of Chef's delight obtained from a Chef's delight barrel cannot be used to build another Chef's delight barrel in another kitchen of the same house).

Note that beer glasses brought from outside the house will disappear if it was used to fill beer from any of the barrels in the house. It is unknown if this is a glitch or not.

Table
You can place items on the table by using the wished item on it. You are warned before you do this if you are in another player's kitchen.

Larder
Building Oak larders is a good way to train Construction (Oak larder method) before you reach level 74, and can build Oak doors.

Shelf
Players are advised against building Oak shelves 1 as the lower-tier Wooden shelves 3 provides a greater Construction boost when making tea.

Sink
Thrifty players should take note that are 3 sinks function identically and the only difference is cosmetic. Refer to the above table for differences in price.

Complete Kitchen
To build a kitchen with the highest level furniture in one go requires 3 oak planks, 8 chef's delight, 25 steel bars, 2 planks, 2 nails, 2 wool, 2 bolts of cloth, 2 gold leaf, 6 soft clay and 14 teak planks. This makes the total cost of a complete kitchen coins.

Practical use
The Kitchen allows players to obtain unlimited amounts of certain low level Cooking resources. Below are some instances where a full kitchen can be useful:
 * Shelves of all levels provide tea cups that provide Construction skill boosts depending on the type of shelve. By combining with the tea leaves obtained from any larders, high-level, useful furniture such as mahogany lecternss and gilded altars can be built at a lower level.
 * Bread can be made quickly by obtaining pots of flour and using it on the water source in the kitchen. This requires oak larders or above.
 * Scrambled egg can be made with an oak larder and oak shelves 2 and above.
 * Cake can be made for free with unlimited resources, provided the player has build oak larders or above, wooden shelves 3 or above, and steel range or above in the kitchen.
 * Chef's delight can be obtained for free if the player has the barrel built, allowing higher level foods to be cooked, with lesser burn rates, although these cannot be taken out of the house.
