[edit] Copyvio removed
I have removed the entry by anon user at 222.152.185.218 because it is a verbatim lift from either [1] or [2]. This user has made some very odd contributions recently. Moriori 22:12, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Lifting the hangi "fact or fiction"
Lifting the Hangi
The story goes that if no steam comes out when the hangi is first uncovered, then put the dirt back and "go buy some kai bro" ("kai" meaning food) Otherwise, it is very hard to overcook a hangi, and careful removal of the soil and unwrapping of the food is the last step before the huge feast.
i have never heard this story, i think it would be amiss of me, some how making it legitimate if it was left here ? in the rare event that a hangi comes out under cooked, esp rare when cooked in the ground, more common when cooked in some kind of above ground cooker.
there is only 1 option
1. finish the hangi in an oven, (or many ovens depending on size)
there is not normally ever a backup plan
i think this section should be removed, it is far from being verifiable
[edit] Umu
needs a note to say that this is an alternative Maori word (possibly just for the oven rather than the method?), but that in modern NZ use it tends to refer generically to other Island versions.
