Making of a Hangi

A hangi is a traditional way to cook food for Maori people.It is done under ground.A hāngi is a traditional New Zealand Māori method of cooking food using heated rocks buried in a pit oven. It is still used for special occasions and sometimes weddings and birthdays.
First you light a fire and let it burn for about two and a half hours.After you have light it you normally say a prayer. They pray to Tane Mahuta the god of the forest to make sure that the environment will be safe.While the fire burns you soak sacks in water.Start putting pieces of iron on top of the fire.You and break down the fire and put the sacks of water on top.while that is breaking down you put all the food in a tin foiled tray.You have to work quickly at this part.Cover it with a tapolen so it can cook nicely.After about three and a half hours the food is ready to eat
