It doesn't seem at all complicated to me. The short version is to put cornmeal in the pot, pour boiling water over it, stir to eliminate lumps, cover the pot, come back several hours later and continue cooking and stirring until desired results are obtained. Perhaps my wordiness made it seem complicated.
It's the same method many people use for cooking steel-cut oats, a technique that I learned from America's Test Kitchen.
