This sounds devine :) Got some watercress today so will try this tomorrow. Has anyone tried this with using beef? If so how did that meat turn out? Thank you for sharing this awesome idea.

liquid smoke is available from nelson naturally, they have an online site, I'd put about 4 drops in about two litres of water then dunk the vege and meat in it before putting them in the crockpot if it was me. .

liquid smoke just sprinkle a few drops on and mix to ensure it's spread.

Stuffing: You can add what ever you feel like to make it your own... breadcrumbs, onion, herbs (either fresh or dried), seasonings and egg all mixed together. My fav hangi one that my mum always made for our hangi when I was a kid has breadcrumbs, fresh parsley/sage/thyme/oregano, carrot, onions, eggs and seasonings. A food processor is your friend lol... no picking the bread apart by hand like we had to for hours as a kid lol.

Youre welcome baz... Apparently you only need to change the water once a week. Check out the gardenstuff.co.nz website... they have watercress seeds if you cant find any to transplant. We used to just get it from the streams but there are too many cows around now days and the streams are all yuck.

I just used the Warehouse or Mitre 10 stuff. Nothing but the cheapest here lol. You dont have to put water in the actual pots, just sit the pots in the water in bigger bins. I get the cheap plastic fish bins from the Warehouse. Ive got a few bins with two pots each in them going at the moment. If you are going to try it now, it might take till spring till it takes off as Ive noticed mine has slowed down slightly over the last few weeks.

what did we do wrong I told my friend of this way to cook. She made it today and the only thing cooked was the pumpkin. Chicken was still bloody and spuds and kumera were still hard.

It sounds like something is wrong with the CP If its in there for all that time it should cook... was the chicken frozen? I always make sure mine are thawed out first.

we did this and it was yummy cooked for around 5 hours, and everything fell apart it was so well cooked.

well thats just down right weird OK im going to cook it on Sunday for us in my slowcooker and see how it goes. Maybe her cooker does have issues. She said it was beautiful after an hour in the oven.

Some slow cookers the lid doesn't fit properly. I cover mine with a teatowel because there is a wee gap. BUT I am home all day to keep an eye on it. Not that anything untoward has happened, I'm just cautious lol.

Thanks for bumping this up I've yet to try it but my mates across the ditch get so homesick, they're making some already! Thanks again.

Thats why in the original recipe I put the stuffing crust on top... it seals everything in like a real hangi. I make heaps of stuffing and its probably a couple of cms thick when spread on top. That way it steams away all day, which is what the real thing does :)
