Stew

Stew is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 60 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Stew is to buy it: Forester's Arms in Seers' Village sells it for 20 coins, and 5 other shops stock it too.

“It's a meat and potato stew.”

Ironman verdict

Only one monster drops it: Chaos Elemental (level 305), at 10/128 (about one per kill). You can also make it yourself: it takes 25 Cooking and gives 117 Cooking XP, using Uncooked stew. There is one other recipe below. Making ten takes 10 × Uncooked stew and gives 1,170 Cooking XP. Reaching level 25 Cooking takes 7,842 XP in total; the Cooking calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Cooking guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Stew: Spicy stew. Stew is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 60 coins, 40 more than the shop price, before the cost of the nature rune.
