Range


 * This article is about the object used primarily for Cooking. For the skill and form of combat, see Ranged. For the range which a monster can wander, see wander radius.





A range is used primarily to cook food via the cooking skill, and is marked on a player's map by the icon.

Except for special cases (such as items requiring an iron spit), any food that can be cooked on a fire can be cooked on a range. To cook food, simply 'use' it on the range. All ranges have a lower burn rate than fires.

While ranges do reduce burn rates, it does not eliminate the player's risk of burning food until the player has reached the necessary cooking level not to burn.

Ranges and stoves operate in the same way; they only vary in appearance.

Lumbridge Castle Range
The range in Lumbridge Castle has an even lower burn rate, but players must have completed the Cook's Assistant quest to use it.

The nearest banks are the culinaromancer's chest in the cellar (which requires the first part of the Recipe for Disaster quest to be completed) or the bank at the top of Lumbridge Castle.

Tips on levelling cooking
For players training on cooking with low cooking level, ranges can come in handy, especially the ranges within chicken farms.

A common tactic would be to collect as many raw chickens as possible (which are commonly left behind by other players, who kill chickens to collect their feathers), and cook them in the range by selecting "cook all". Since food does not burn so often when cooked on a range compared with a fire, this will save the player time.

A good place to level cooking is in the Champion's Guild. Players can easily kill chickens, cook them, then sell them upstairs.

Please note: a range can also be a type of combat.
