  Steps :
  Tradition cooking for New Zealand maori
  You need to dig a big hole
  You also will need a tower of wood with the irons so the irons will heat up
  The will say a prayer to keep the trees safe
  They will dig a hole in the ground about 4 foot deep
  The irons need to be around 700 degrees celsius to be able to cook the food through all the layers
  You should have nicely cooked food
  They will put all the layers of the cloths on the top of the food
  They will wet the cloth
  And take out the embers
  They will put the food into the cages, they will put the cages into the
  They will take out the irons into the bottom of the hole
  After they will put lettuce leaves so the food won’t burn or be a bit smokey
  The foods that are better to cook are Beef, lamb, pork, poultry, potatoes, kumara and green vegetables/ normally watercress
  They do a karakia in maori (usually)
  It is a risk getting the irons into the hole
  You will put 3-4 layers of food and clothes so the food gets nicely cooked.
  Cook for 3 and a half hours
  And then you will carefully take the cages of food out of the hole and into the trailer
  And that’s how you make a Hangi
