Hangi

                                                     Hangi

Hangi is a traditional New Zealand Maori method of cooking food using heated materials buried in a pit oven still used for special occasions.

It's my first time to experience watching a Hangi.

At 5:30 in the morning, they started to burn the firewood and metal. 

After 2 and a half hours, it looks like this. For safety, Mr King had a fire extinguisher.


Right over here, you can see the vegetables and meats that will be cooked.



 
This thing is called a burner; the modern way to do the Hangi. 

After 30 minutes they started to put the metal in the pit.

 Now, you can see them stacking the vegetables and meats at the pit with the heated metals below.

Next, they covered the food with white wet cloth, wet sacks and black plastic.

Finally, the black plastic is covered with soil to trap the heat in the pit in order to cook the food underneath.

 
At the same time they were also putting the other vegetables and meats at the burner.

Finally, it's also done… waiting the food to be cooked.
