'lots of glassware in play here?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'hot cooked macaroni' is the wordplay.
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps).
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'macaroni' with letters rearranged gives 'armonica'.
'h'+'armonica'='HARMONICA'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for harmonica that I've seen before include "Larry Adler's instrument" , "It's played by blowing into holes" , "glasses of water" , "Harp" , "Mouth organ" .)
