In Praise of a Slow Cooker

In Praise of a Slow Cooker

Today I want to say something wonderful
about my slow cooker –
a Rival, a crock nestled
in stainless steel shell,
when heated, it simmers like hot springs.

I want to tell you how mild tempered it is -
you throw in beef tendon, carrots,
kidney beans, shiitake and kelp...
add hot water and aniseeds,
turn the switch
and leave it to hatch.
Go read, relax, or run an errand.
When you return, you see how
soft fire makes tender meat.

I love the way steam whistles softly,
tries to escape, pushing the glass lid that gently
pops, poof, poof, poof to the rhythm of bubbling
stews. No spills, but a waft of aroma; inside

everything dissolves in a slow burn.

everything dissolves in a slow burn

reminds me of the boiling frog story:
if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out instantly. but if it is placed in cold water, which is slowly heated, it will be cooked to death.
