Hangi

On the 21 of November we cooked up a hangi. A hangi is what the Maori people used to cook their food, it was just like a Maori Oven. First we had to dig the hole which took about 3 hours. Then we had to make sure both of the sides of the hole could fit 2 trays and  have no loose dirt in it. Next we put the 2 cages in and then came the part, we got to scrunch up the news paper and throw it in. It was super fun doing it because normal you would

get told off for throwing paper balls. once we did that we had to place some iron into the pit and then throw in sticks after that we put tart over it and covered it we had to make sure we kept all of the steam inside the tart with the food to make sure the steam cooked it. It was hard using the shovel in the Hangi because it was heavy and i'm pretty weak. But it was easy putting in the food. Have you ever had a Hangi?
