Today I learnt how you make a Hangi and the process of one . First you dig a ditch , but it doesn't need to be deep(so it doesn't take long) Then you need to get the wood ready.Most of it is Manuka. Next , the railway irons go on . They're good because they heat up well . now the stones . But they have to be volcanic rocks . Then there aare the veges to be peeled, washed, rapped in tin foil , then stored in food baskets. after that you light the fire . Keep a hose handy . now you wait,wait and wait until the time is up. Now it is time to get the ashes and stones out of the pit. IT'S HOT WORK !!! Now the stones and rail irons go back in and then the baskets of food. Now you put on lots of earth so more heat and steam stays in that is the way you cook a hangi. But don't forget the wet sheets and the sacks.(so that sand or dirt doesn't come in) Now the best bit of all ... EATING IT (YUMM)!!!!!!!! So if I were you I'd bring lots of water if you are making a hangi!!!

Nicole, this makes me hungry. How long does the whole process of putting down a hangi, from lighting the fire to eating the food take? I imagine cooking the food takes the longest time. What fraction of the time would that take?

Why do you need water in your hangi? Man it sounds like lots of work.
Do you remember Melissa, Amelia and Stephanie Cole who used to go to your school last year. Well they are at Woodbank now and they saw Mr Pottinger yesterday in Picton. Hello Mr Pottinger.
We think your blog is pretty cool. Have you had a look at ours? It has only been going for this term but we really enjoy blogging.
