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 in a dairy churn, which gives 40 cooking experience, or a pot of cream, which gives 22.5 cooking experience.

An efficient way on churning butter is using pots of cream to churn the cream into butter. This saves inventory spaces, time and trips to the bank by not having buckets from milk using up inventory space. On the other hand, using milk with a full inventory will auto-drop the buckets, making it a much cheaper way of making butter while using the same amount of spaces.

Pats of butter can also be bought from the Culinaromancer's chest after starting the Recipe for Disaster quest. On 10 March 2009, Jagex increased the price of butter in the Culinaromancer's chest from 5 gp to equal that of the current mid-price on the Grand exchange. On 13 March 2009 this was 485 gp. This has since been reverted, with butter now costing 5 gp again, making it a very effiecent money-making process to buy at the chest and sell on the Grand Exchange.

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 topping(s). (See: A List of Potato Toppings for information.)



Another method of obtaining 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 near to the bank)

Another option is that does not require buckets to be pre-purchased:


 * Go to the Zanaris bank, either have with you some money, or withdraw it from the bank.
 * Go south to the general store and buy 27 buckets (buy X, then 99)
 * Go past the faild east to the dairy cow and milk it.
 * Then go northwest to churn it into butter
 * Bank and repeat

If your house in 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.
