Hot Air
Funny thing.
Each few years
(maybe ten)
some new way
comes along
which appears
set to make food magic on your counter-top.
First there was
air-popped corn-
fun to watch
even though
what blew out
from its horn
of plenty was an awful lot like Styrofoam™.
Then it was
Foreman™ grills:
burgers fast,
brown and flat,
grease traps full,
scrubbing thrills.
Mine’s my third, they burn out, never use it.
Microwave.
Is that one?
It hangs on;
hard to hurt
self or food.
When it’s done
food’s hot sometimes, but not cooked, exactly.
This week’s buzz
works with hot
air and just
drops of oil;
if you like
fries a lot
this might work for you if you’ve got a spot left.
