Smita Kulkarni Poet Ode

Ode to a Pressure Cooker

In my kitchen, there's a treasure,
scrumptious dinner, it helps me prepare.
Under pressure it combines flavors,
Serves proudly, mouthwatering savors.

This wonder made of stainless steel,
Shines like a star among my utensils.
Rice, beans, soup, or stew, 
Ready in a flash for the whole crew.

Safety valve and rubber gasket,
Ensure this helper is not a threat.
Though it shrieks like a train,
This gadget is a faithful friend.

I rely on this device a lot,
As it gives peace to my heart.
So, here's to the pressure cooker's plea,
Transforming ingredients into a glee!

Kim Rodrigues January 25, 2024 at 5:46 AM Been using one for years, now in the pleasurable form of an Instant Pot. Check out my poem “Here Come the HUNGARIANS,” to peruse one of our family’s specialties. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/here_come_the_hungarians_825744 I loved descriptions and glee! Hugs!

Gershon Wolf January 23, 2024 at 8:48 PM Sounds as if your pressure cooker works two ways: As it pressures and pressed the food together, it takes the pressure off of you. Excelsior, Gershon Smita Kulkarni January 24, 2024 at 12:30 PM So true Gershon! Thanks for your visit!
