Hāngi

Hāngi is a traditional New Zealand Māori method of cooking food using heated rocks buried in a pit oven still used for special occasions. To do that you have to dig a pit in the ground, then heat the stones in the pit with a large fire, place the baskets of food on top of the stones and then cover it up, several hours later lift it up. There are many ways how to do or make a Hāngi. The Hāngi ''experts'' have improved the methods and they've been handed down for generations. The Hāngi is a part of their culture.
