To those that say cooking is easy: HOW?

Can you name ways for someone to LEARN To cook?

Also, someone to learn how to

1) Turn on a stove and know how to use it(i dunno if mine even turns on!)
2) what "pre heating" means
3) How to chop things

Well these things are pretty simple.

1. Usually your stove has a set of dials or other controls either in front of or behind the burners ("eyes"). They'll be labeled to show which eye is controlled by which dial. To cook on it, put a pot or pan on the eye with food in it. If you're cooking pasta or otherwise boiling something, you're usually fine but depending on your pot/pan, you'll want to use nonstick cooking spray or oil to keep food from sticking to the pan.

2. Just means you get the oven/stove/grill/etc to temperature before putting the food in.

3. Just grab a knife and cutting board and cut it up. Put the food on the cutting board and cut it with the knife. If you want to get technical, the technique does vary from food item to food item, and there are guides you can follow, but generally it's not a big deal if you just chop it however. It can make a bigger difference than you might expect, but it's not like it's going to make or break your dish.
