My pet peeve as a Kiwi is hangi's that aren't cooked in the ground, it's just steamed. People come here and try the crap steamed one's thinking that's a hangi. The one's cooked in the ground are amazing.
If you cook it hot, it doesn't really have that taste. I found once I cooked it on an electric hot plate . I couldn't get the temperature right and it did taste like that .

True. My GF family are Maori and nothing beats it. I love to give one a try
Just wondering if the water makes the meat taste broiled at all?

Tastes good but the pot falls apart within a year!
Probably the heating without water might not be good for it. I will keep an eye on it
Does not have that earthy flavor of dirt , heat and steam , this is just steamed
chuck a handful of dirt in the pot. That should fix it lol. True never the same as one in the dirt but it is not too bad
