Im not much for a fan of Haikus, but this one is good, it has personality to it, I think its the extractor fan whining maybe.

Technically sound and certainly within the form’s format. The image is clear and accessible and the emotional content, consistent with the title, is immediate as well. As one who no longer reads a lot of haiku, it’s a bit startling to encounter the “whine” of “extractor fans” in this ancient form but time does march on. Good luck with it.
I think it’s pretty good, it made me laugh when you mentioned rice! It seemed kind of vague in the beginning, you might want to add something that gives a bit more image than your third line!
Priceless. Maybe one of my favorite Haiku poems of all times. Seriously.
Very cute. Seemingly untraditional at first, but eating is part of nature, cooking is part of eating, so I suppose it fits the nature requirement that you find in haikus. I’d suggest dropping the strips in line 1 and changing it to “Chicken simmering” as haikus are very active, and -ing words accomplish that nicely. Similarly, I don’t think you need the word “broken”; taking out that adjective gives you 2 more syllables to punch up the rest of it.
