How to cook a Puia Hangi:
Step 1: First you need to find a location where the puia or the hot water pools are hot enough. Try the Southern end of Lake Taupo, there’s a little town there, called Tokaanu with 2 extremely hot Puias, boiling geysers, and bubbling mud pools.
Step 2: Gather your favourite food, it could be pork, potatoes, pumpkin, or even stuffing. Cut your vegetables up not too small but not too large.
Step 3: Wrap all your food in tin foil so when it’s cooking it won’t loose any flavour. The reason we cook it in tin foil is because, cooking glad wrap would melt and leave your food tasting like plastic.
Step 3: put all your parcels of food into the steam box then place your steam box over the puia. Step 4: Carefully lift the lid of the box and take you food out, if you don’t do this carefully you could be left with a burn or a scar.
