Burnt sea turtle
The Burnt sea turtle is a unique food item in Old School RuneScape, known for its tantalizing taste and the ability to restore health. This item is obtained by attempting to cook a sea turtle without the necessary cooking level or with insufficient attention, resulting in a charred version that still holds some culinary value. Adventurers venturing into the depths of Gielinor’s oceans might catch a sea turtle, but only the most skilled chefs can prepare it successfully without ruining it. Despite its burnt state, it serves as a reminder of the trials one faces in their culinary pursuits.
Although the Burnt sea turtle may not provide as much sustenance as its properly cooked counterpart, it still has its place in the hearts of players who appreciate the humor and charm of OSRS. This item can be useful for low-level players seeking quick food alternatives in the heat of battle or during skilling sessions. With its distinct appearance and backstory, the Burnt sea turtle is more than just a failed cooking attempt; it represents the spirit of resilience and creativity that defines the essence of Old School RuneScape.

Cooking Mechanics
Cooking in OSRS involves various mechanics, and burning food is one of them. The chance of burning a sea turtle is influenced by the player’s Cooking level. Specifically:
- Below level 82: Higher chance of burning
- Level 82: 20% chance of burning
- Level 83 to 88: 15% chance of burning
- Level 89 and above: No burning
This mechanic encourages players to train their Cooking skill to minimize waste.
Uses of Burnt Sea Turtle

- Disposal: Players may choose to drop them to clear inventory space.
- Training: Provides experience when dropped or used in-game, although this is not effective.
- Market Value: Generally, burnt items like this have little to no market value.
How to Avoid Burning Sea Turtles
To avoid burning sea turtles, players can employ several strategies:
- Level Up Cooking: Aim for level 89 Cooking to eliminate the chance of burning.
- Use Cooking Gauntlets: These items reduce the chance of burning some foods but do not apply to sea turtles.
- Cook in a Safe Zone: Cook in places where you can access the bank quickly to replenish supplies.
Differences Between Burnt and Regular Sea Turtles
The primary difference between a Burnt Sea Turtle and a regular Sea Turtle lies in their usability:
| Item | Healing | Cooking Level |
|---|---|---|
| Sea Turtle | 21 Hitpoints | 82 |
| Burnt Sea Turtle | 0 Hitpoints | N/A |
As seen above, the regular Sea Turtle is a viable food item, while the burnt version is essentially useless in terms of health recovery.
