Interesting cooking methods. Would this work! Lay cabbage leaves on the bottom of the crockpot. Place meat, then a layer of cabbage leaves, then potatoes, kumara, etc, then lay more cabbage leaves, then stuffing on top. Who thinks this would be ok, thanks!

that would be fine Drewz :)
Haven't read most of this thread but all I do is:
*Peel and lay the spuds/carrots/kumara on the bottom of the crockpot.
*Split the chicken down the backbone, brown quickly on the stove top.Lay the chicken on the potatoes.
*put cabbage where it will fit on top of the chicken.
*fill all remaining spaces with my special stuffing.
*my stuffing is basically, bread cut up fine, onion, garlic, raisins, apricot jam, LOTS of mixed herbs, salt and peper and eggs to combine.I make HEAPS of it, cos it's great on it's own lol.

Bought this online and just a few drops in a 2 litre bowl of water is perfect for dipping the veg into for that smokey flavour.

Yummy non maori but eat all apart from Kina :) I once had the most wonderful steamed pudding done in a Hangi, they told me it was the same recipe as in good old Edmonds cook book but into a big a4 tin and put in same time as .it was laid .sorry guess it had to be.but wondering if it could be done in crokpot, yes know it can just be done in large post but I am sure it was the slow cooking that made it so divine.I'll never forget it.but sure as will try this bugger can't do it for Xmas Dinner, but will be done and soon.Thanks

I've done this sort of thing in oven bags. in the oven on 120 degrees C. You can put in some spices and yoghurt and make a sort of curry; apricots and middle Eastern spices to make a sort of tagine (make the couscous at the last minute). infinitely variable, and a great way to have a meal ready when you come in from a long hard day. I might try putting my oven bag in the slow cooker!

How did it go!Did you seal the bag to keep all the steam in or just as a liner for your crock pot bowl!

went well, just need a bigger crockpot LOL, used a teatowl (wet) to cover it all then put lid on, cooked on high for about 4hrs then low for 5 1/2hrs, had 2 shanks 5 pork strips potatoes carrots parsnips with cabbage leaves between layers, not enough room for kumuras so will have to do anotherhehehe

I didn't put any water in mine but there was plenty of liquid after cooking.Perhas cut the veges smaller to fit!And blanch the watercress first so it fits.The stuffing moulded over the top of everything replaces the earth by keeping the steam in to cook everything.BTW: I did use an upside down frypan on top of the slow cooker to weight the lid down until everything settled.
Hope it works out for you!

I made this yesterday! A MUST is to add bacon bones to your choice of meat (I used pork) and potato pumpkin kumara cabbage carrots. The smokey flavour from the bacon bones went right through the pork and the vegies! Its a winner!
