Burnt pie
Burnt Pie is an unfortunate culinary mishap that adventurers may encounter while honing their cooking skills in Gielinor. This item is the result of a cooking failure where players attempt to bake a pie but end up with a charred version instead. Burnt pies are not only visually unappealing but also serve no practical purpose in the game, as they cannot be consumed for health recovery or used in any quests. Players often find themselves with a handful of these burnt delicacies when experimenting with different pie recipes, leading to humorous moments during their cooking endeavors.
Despite its lack of utility, the Burnt Pie holds a certain charm for collectors and completionists. It serves as a reminder of the trials and tribulations faced in the kitchen and a testament to the realities of cooking in OSRS. Some players might even find joy in showcasing their burnt creations in their banks or using them to decorate their player-owned houses, turning a culinary failure into a conversation starter. So, while the burnt pie may not satisfy your hunger, it definitely adds flavor to the rich tapestry of life in Gielinor.

Item Overview
The Burnt pie is a unique consumable item found in the world of Old School RuneScape (OSRS). This item is notable for its distinctive appearance, as it appears as a charred pastry, and its relatively low utility in terms of healing. While it may not be the best choice for players looking to restore health, it has its own charm and can be a part of various in-game experiences.
How to Obtain Burnt Pie
Burnt pies can be obtained through several methods:
- Cooking Failure: Players can create burnt pies by failing to cook a regular pie. When attempting to cook a pie, if the player’s Cooking level is insufficient or if they burn the pie, it will turn into a burnt pie.
- Looting: Occasionally, burnt pies can be found as loot in various locations, including monster drops or treasure chests.
- Trade: Players may also acquire burnt pies through trading with other players who have no use for them.

Usage in Gameplay
While the burnt pie might not be the most effective healing item, it has some interesting uses:
- Humor: Players often use burnt pies as a comedic element, sharing them during in-game events or as a joke in chat.
- Cooking Practice: New players might intentionally cook pies to practice their Cooking skills, resulting in some burnt pies along the way.
- Quest Items: Certain quests may reference burnt food, allowing players to use them in dialogues or as part of quest-related tasks.
Cooking Mechanics
To understand how burnt pies are created, it’s essential to look at the cooking mechanics:
- Cooking Level: A player’s Cooking level determines how likely they are to successfully cook a pie without burning it. Higher levels reduce the chance of burning.
- Cooking Equipment: Players need access to a cooking range or fire, along with the raw ingredients required to make a pie.
- Ingredient Quality: Using higher-quality ingredients can slightly improve the chances of cooking a pie successfully.
Community and Cultural Significance
The burnt pie has become a part of OSRS culture, often referenced in forums and memes. Here are some ways it has impacted the community:
- Memes: The image of burnt pies is frequently used in memes to represent failure or comedic situations within the game.
- Events: During community events, players may incorporate burnt pies into activities, like cooking contests or humorous challenges.
Comparison with Other Food Items
When comparing burnt pies with other food items in OSRS, it’s clear that they fall short in terms of utility:
- Regular Pie: Provides a health restoration of 7 Hitpoints, making it a far superior option for players seeking healing.
- Cakes: A cake restores 14 Hitpoints, which is significantly more beneficial than a burnt pie.
- Potatoes: Baked potatoes restore 5 Hitpoints, still outclassing the burnt pie in terms of healing.
