Hangi Report

 Highlights of the hangi on Friday 19 March

My favorite part of the hangi was the bonding when we were digging the pit and preparing the food. I had fun when we were digging the hole and we found big slabs of concrete in the pit, we found a black stained glass that was like 2 centimeters thick. Prior to the hangi, We went to Whare Manaaki and made the kai that we were gonna put in the hangi. While others were preparing the food, Some of the boys were digging the pit. First, we put the baskets on the ground, Then we marked around the outside so we knew the boundary of the pit, We dug another hole because we needed more dirt to cover the pit. After all the preparations were done, we went back to school. On the day of the hangi, we set some wood on fire so that it would heat up some iron pieces to put underground with the hangi. When the Iron pieces were hot enough, We put the fire out, Dugout the ashes, and then put the food baskets in the pit. We covered it with some wet fabric to keep the steam in the pit so it cooks the food. and we waited until 5 pm to dig it out. When the hangi was ready to be dug out, we dug the dirt off the sheets and uncovered everything. We gave out all the food for everyone to eat. After the hangi, we cleaned all of the dishes and covered the hangi pit, Then we went home.

  1. Sapati, It certainly did look like your class were bonding really well doing the mahi for the hangi.

    You have provided a great description of the stages in preparing the hangi, could your blog post be broken into paragraphs or steps to make the description clearer?
