Hi!
At your age, it is best to use cooking gas under supervision. You can definitely start learning how to cook and maybe cook all your meals under supervision. However, it is best to let your mother do the cooking and you assist to start with. At your age, it is more important to concentrate on your studies and sports and other activities. Cooking is also a good recreational activity. However, using cooking gas, electric oven, tandoors etc has its own hazards. Even microwave ovens should be used with precaution. So, first learn the whole process, all safety measures and become a pro at it before venturing out to cooking all your meals. Take care!
