Home Cook, The in ground Hangi Gisborne New Zealand 

I used to have islander niehgbours who would every fortnight make a hungi, sit around with the family sing and then would go around with a plate to the nearby neighbours. Man they were a nice family. Always happy, chearful and polite. Never ever find people like that ever again. Shout out to Harry and his wife Ella. From Yagoona, NSW. We miss you guys

An Ozzie from from over the ditch. 1st time I've EVER seen a genuine hangi from start to sharing on Christmas day at your home. Basically, it touched my heart... your love of Jesus and of your love for Family Values. Loved it all! Thank you. I may just try doing a hangi here at my home to see how go. Stay well, Grampa. And again, thanks for sharing.

Kia Ora from Te Kuiti, Waikato. Love an in ground hangi 😛. We put our top pallet upside down so it creates a pocket to hold the stones in. Happy hangi 🤙🍻

This is one of best videos I have seen in ages. So kiwi and reminds of when my uncle used to put down a hangi every Xmas since I was kid. Well done on keeping this video real.

Thanks for posting the video. Every New Zealander and Māori I have met in Australia have been good people. I went to a restaurant once called food star. The place was packed with islander people who were celebrating a wedding that day. They were having a good time and singing songs. Cheers from Australia.

It's rare to see/hear of let alone attend a typical WARM, LOVING, FULL OF KAI - Maori whanau gathering like this. What lucky moko's and kids Hori and Rangi have. Thank you for reminding me of the feeling of whanaungatanga! Miss that feeling. Kia ora from Rotorua.

Thank you so much for sharing, I'm maori born and bred in Gisborne, but I've been living in Melbourne, Australia for 30 years. Thank you for a reminder of back home. And an Aussie Grandpa to boot! Doing a Hangi! And speaking Te reo like a boss! Beautiful atmosphere!

Really nice to see all the hard work going into the preparation for the Hangi. Back in 2010 I visited New Zealand, my travel companion has family living there and one of his cousins had a good relationship with a Maori family. We arrived at Christmas eve at Auckland after a 22 hour flight from the Netherlands, then a 40 minute drive took us to Piha beach. After a short night sleep because of the jet lag we were invited to attend to the Christmas Hangi this family had organised. We did only see the opening of the pit and the food taken out, the food was delicious and our thanks to the family great, it was a very special and heart warming welcome to New Zealand for us In this video I could see the whole proces, and the whole atmosphere of the family gathering exactly as how I remembered it. Kia Ora from the Netherlands.

Awesome video...bit of a reminder of how stuff got done with jandles, and we still have all our toes...lol...

Chur Bro! Enjoyed that immensely. Great Hangi & an easy way to cater for a big crowd.

Kia Ora Hori, Rangi and Whānau. Nga mihi nui Kia koutou katoa ❤ Thank you for sharing your special day with us all. You brought back special memories for me, reminded me of whakawhanaungatanga me Nga tikanga ❤ Thank you 😊 and for always praising the Lord 🙌 For he is always with us❤ Loved your video!!!

That was a bloody great inspiration to make me cook camp ovens again or even go to the top like you guy's, and try cooking one of these, bloody awsome mate's......Dave from Aussie

What a beautiful video sending alofa from Wellington

Thsnk you whaanau. Took me back to the days. Hangi done with Aroha. Tuumeke Rangi and Hori.

One of my relatives got married to a Maori bloke in Sydney in 1980. I was just a little kid. I still remember watching these big Maori blokes make a Hangi and dig it up. Great food, fed 50+ people.

Well done folks, I know how much work goes into small a hangi, much respect for both your efforts

Thanks for sharing. I’m from Hawaii, (live in Nz) We did the same earth oven, called Imu. We used big round volcanic stones (lava rocks) instead of steel and iron, they glow hot but don’t explode. The rest is the same. Usually we cook whole pigs etc, but I like the way you did it with individual meals. I want to try it this way now. Kia Ora. 🙂🤙

Mr cliftons here , omg you should have invited me . I'm salivating and jealous.

Best way to cook food and you guys have done a job of it.

bloody beauty video mate really enjoyed it looks like a great Chrissie awesome Hangi thanks for the hard work and that beautiful new Zealand soil grow anything in that mate

Hubby and I are enjoying your videos, makes us feel home sick. Thank you both for sharing. God Bless yous 🙏😊

A little secret ingredient for the stuffing trevs try a bit of pineapple juice in the stuffing gives it a beautiful flavor with the mixed herbs

Thanks for the video. God bless you guys and your family.

was hoping to see one up close, but still know the results, awsome

nice work!....making me bloody hungry!....cheers!

New Subscriber, I was just wondering what the big pot was at the end of the table? Thanks for making such a great video and it was amazing to see just how much work went into all of it, just a pity there wasn't a picture at the end of what it looked like so I can only imagine how incredible it turned out. Amazing how much work goes into all of it with each part being a major workout. Cheers Garry

Funny this vid popped up on my feed😂just got home from doing a big hangi😂

Hey Trev, awesome video! Just a friendly precaution to you guys for your health and safety. Be mindful that most commercial pallets have arsnic in the timber as a treatment, and possibly other chemicals I'm unaware of, which in turn might contaminate your food, thus inadvertently poisoning you and your whanau. Especially with this hangi method of building the fire and iron implements directly over the food pit, which I think is a genius idea if using untreated timber. I actually would love to have a go at making a hangi this way. Be safe, and God bless you and your whanau in Jesus' name.

I really enjoyed the video mate thank you. Cool vibes and I’m trying to learn how to cook a mad hangi. I’m just an Aussie with a hole in the ground so far haha.

Awesome job whanau, well done ❤🎉❤

I love this video of good times, good people

bloody awesome aye boys.

Outstanding

ka pai e hoa 👍

Mean looking kai trev good stuff bro

Wow! Yum! ❤😊

Yum delish new Zealand food 👍

Mean alright uncle looks lovely ❤️💯

OMG..!!!!…. Only a little bit through this vid but stopped it to like, subscribe 🎉🎉🎉🎉😅❤❤❤😂🙏

Wow it looks really interesting I have never seen one done before 😊❤

Interesting way of doing it! Abit different from us South African's as there be alot more brandy involved while doing a braai "bbq" haha. Much love.

GOOD ON YOU TREV

Praise Jesus, Love it❤

A lot of people today seem to use this method if they’re selling hāngi, but it lacks the smoked flavour of a hāngi cooked in baskets with smoke permeating everything. Also we never use pallets because they’re tanalysed.

This is making me freaking hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that was awsome

zucchini or pumpkin growing? Just joined. Thumps up. Take care cuss. Mick Australia the gong )

Praise Jesus alright bro. Loved your vid keep it coming. Liked and subscribed.

Very nice!❤❤

NICE!!!

Mate!!!!🤠👌👌💪🤙Nice 😊😍

Comedy gold

Yeah man, a authentic feed . Friggen yummy.

Yes.

Just a question which part of the Hangi is traditional prior to the Europeans arriving in New Zealand. My guess is the hole in the ground as all the meat from Pork, Chicken, Lamb, Beef and Venison were all introduced by the Europeans.

Good stuff alright 👍

This clip is Mean Maori mean Hangi on point Merry Christmas 🤶 to you and your whanau Rangi and Hori

what's your stuffing recipe please! I have to try it!?? ps love you video! best one I've seen

your dog looks identical to my dads half papillion half terrier. great dogs they are with great nature. i want to encourage you to get his teeth looked at and cleaned evry year because our poor boy ended up needing most teeth pulled all at once because we never thought of it. poor boy must have been in pain too. hope this helps.

Praise Jesus mate! Great job brother ☝️

a bit of work there we'd wrap all foods and cook .. pull up baskets open foils and help ya selves ..love what yous do ...

I normally dig my pit the night b4 and use native and black wattle for burning and only use pallets inbetween the gaps also dig a second pit for the ash one match and we’r burning 5/6 hours total start to finish depending on how many people I am feeding on average 50/60 people
