Zero Conditional, First Conditional

Hello,
could you help, please?

This Zero Conditional sentence is correct:
1. If my husband cooks, he always burns the food.

What about these sentences:

2. If my husband cooks tonight, he will burn the food! It always happens!
3. If my husband is cooking tonight, he will burn the food! It always happens!

Is the third sentence correct as well? Could it be described as the First Conditional sentence?

I will be grateful for your help.
Regards.
