What are the three times to wash when cooking?

There's no set "three times to wash" rule when cooking. However, here are three important times to wash your hands and/or utensils when cooking to ensure food safety:

1. Before you start cooking: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after handling raw meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs. This helps prevent cross-contamination from germs that can cause foodborne illness.

2. After handling raw food: Wash your hands, cutting boards, knives, and other utensils with hot soapy water immediately after handling raw meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs. This prevents the spread of bacteria to other foods or surfaces.

3. Before serving or eating: Wash your hands again before serving or eating to ensure that they are free of any bacteria or germs that may have been picked up during the cooking process.

Remember, these are just guidelines. It's important to wash your hands and surfaces whenever they come into contact with raw food, and to be extra vigilant if you're working with potentially hazardous foods like poultry or seafood.
