We do hangi in crockpot, put layer of halved peeled potatoes on base of crockpot, add your slab of meat. pack all your other roast vegies in around meat cover with either watercress or thick pile cabbage leaves, careful they dont touch sides or will burn,make pile homemade stuffing and cover and pack it down and cook from about 9am in morning, add no water or anything as the meet and vegies create their own juices .Yum.

has also been suggested to add "liquid smoke" whatever that is? for a more authentic flavour - hope this helps you anyway

For an authentic hangi maybe you could approach your local marae on the correct way to prepare. I know that the right kind of stones are important ( so was told many years ago by an elder)Love hangi food :)

As the 'a' vowel in Maori is pronounced 'a' as in "amiss - short or,a as in father - long" and 'u' is as in put - short, or as in food - long then hungi would be pronounced hoongi or hawngi.
No harm in showing the poster the correct spelling.

Oviously no body does a hungi on here, A hungi is done in the ground not with electricity. I know that much

No it isn't, as per Buzzy's post.

That is correct shazzadude. the long 'a' is used so it is pronounced h'ar'ngi with a very light 'ng' sound. The final vowel is pronounced 'e' as in pet or fed, take your pick. But most people, Maori included prouounce it ee as in feed and to do that they make the 'g' sound more pronounced.
