When Will Raw Beef Stop Being Burnt Runescape
Cooking is one of the skills that can be trained in both F2P and P2P worlds. It allows you to make food which can be eaten to heal up your Hitpoints and this is done by cooking raw food. Raw food can be cooked by using a fire or a range, fire can be made by using a Tinderbox on any kind of Logs (depending on your Firemaking level) but it has a high chance to burn the food.
Usually, players train this skill to be able to finish some quests and/or obtaining the Cooking cape which allows you to not burn food anymore, but you can also use this skill to make some money at the high levels, depending on how you do it. That doesn't mean Cooking training is cheap, it can be so expensive, so prepare yourself to spend some serious money.

Cooking Range & Burning Chance
Cooking on a range has a lower chance to burn the food than the normal fire, not to mention that some specific ranges have an even lower burn chance than the other ranges. Also, some food can only be cooked on a range, unlike fire. That means any kind of food that can be cooked on fire can also be cooked on a range.
Note that having a high Cooking level unlocks new kinds of raw food to be cooked.
Overall, the burning chance is highly depending on your actual Cooking level, which means the higher level you are the less likely you will burn the food. Keep in mind that each kind of raw food requires a certain Cooking level to stop burning completely. To see these levels, please check the table below.
In this article, we will be focusing on the fastest way to reach level 99 Cooking using the best semi-AFK P2P methods to do that. We will also mention some money-making methods for those who are interested.
Note that every ingredient mentioned in this article can be bought directly from the Grand Exchange, but we can't assume exactly how much you will need to complete the guide due to the market fluctuation.
Things to do first
Before following this guide, you should read the 2 sections below.
Hosidius Kitchen
First of all, you should be using a range to train your Cooking skill because it has less chance to burn your food. The best cooking range in the game is the Hosidius Range and this is because it even has a lesser chance (5% and can be 10% after completing the Kourend & Kebos elite Diary) to burn the food than the other ranges and its also so close to a bank chest.
Note that 100% Hosidius favour is required to unlock the Hosidius Kitchen.
This also means it decreases the burning level of some food to stop being burnt completely (check the table in the Burning Chance section).
Cooking Gauntlets
These Gauntlets decrease the chance of burning food, which helps you to gain more XP in a shorter time. Completing the Family Crest Quest is required to obtain these Gauntlets.
Note that using the Hosidius Range which wearing the Cooking Gauntlets will decrease the required level to not burn some food anymore. Both of them will not be needed anyway once you obtain the Cooking Cape.

---|---|---|---|---|
Tuna | 30 | 64 | 63 | 59 |
Lobster | 40 | 74 | 64 | 61 |
Swordfish | 45 | 86 | 81 | 76 |

Shark | 80 | Never (unless wearing the Cooking cape) | 94 | 89 |
Anglerfish | 84 | Never (unless wearing the Cooking cape) | 98 | 93 |

Alternative Cooking Training Methods
The following method is kinda expensive and may be less AFK than the other mentioned methods, but it gives fairly higher XP and it totally depends on how efficient you can do it.
The best thing about it is that you can do it without the need for a fire or cooking range.
Making Wines
First of all, the recommended level to start using this method is level 68 Fishing where you will stop making Jugs of bad wine, so you won't waste money and XP.
All you have to do is combining Grapes with some Jugs of water to make Jugs of wine. Grapes can be obtained by farming in the Hosidius Vinery which requires level 36 Farming and 65% Hosidius favour.
Grapes can also be obtained by killing bosses such as Vorkath alongside the ability to buy from the Culinaromancer's Chest after completing the Recipe for Disaster Quest.
Jugs of water can be obtained by filling Empty Jugs using any water source such as fountains. Empty Jugs can be bought from the various general stores like the one in Varrock.
A jug of water can also be bought from some shops like Shantay Pass Shop or by killing monsters like Imps. You can expect 500K XP / Hour by using this method.
Money Making MethodsUsing Cooking to make money isn't the best way to go, and it really gives very low profits, but this might be helpful if you are willing to get some coins while being semi-AFK.

Karambwan Recipe
Raw karambwan

Conclusion
You should only aim for level 99 Cooking to obtain the Cooking cape and to get closer to your max cape, making money from this skill is only gonna waste your time in comparison to the other big money-making methods.
That means reaching level 99 in the fastest possible way should be your target, after that you can make money somewhere else.
