Hāngī

A traditional New Zealand Māori method of cooking food using heated rocks buried in a pit oven still used for special occasions.

Hāngī (Māori pronunciation: [ˈhaːŋiː]) is a traditional New Zealand Māori method of cooking food using heated rocks buried in a pit oven, called an umu.[1] It is still used for large groups on special occasions, as it allows large quantities of food to be cooked without the need for commercial cooking appliances.[2]
