Hints and tips on the crock pot hangi

t.gypsy, May 28, 9:38pm
Yes its me again and just have the pot on. Now here's what was done

Bacon pieces finely chopped and some herbs on the bottom(to create smokiness)
Cabbage leaf
Smallish cut veges
Cabbage leaves/some shreaded so we can have some with the rest of it
Meat neck chop/chicken/pork chops, no stuffing
Cabbage leaf to cover the lot

had trouble putting the lid down so I said that on seeing a thread somewhere someone used a damp tea towel over the lid.

Its now on high until 1-2pm then we will turn it down low.

Is there anything we have done wrong lol our first time and that is.

Do post and tell us how it turned out!I've done similar in the oven, lined oven dish with foil, then cabbage leaves, added pork strips, lamb chops, chicken drums and veges (pumpkin kumera potato)Sprinkled over some smoked flavoured seasoning and covered the lot with cabbage leaves.Took 3½ hours at 180deg.It would be handy to do the exercise in my crock pot so do let's know how yours turned out!

Reading what you've done compared to what's written in the crockpot hangi thread - I'd say you're on the right track! Hope it works out for you.
