Let me second this statement. My wife is polynesian and from the begining of our relatiohship I had a lot of pork that was slow-cooked but never had pork cooked in the ground until several years after we were married when we were at a family reunion in New Zealand. Let me say that the difference was astonishing. The pork cooked in the imu (although that is not what the maoris called it, but I can't remeber their word) was MUCH better than slow-cooked pork. It was amazing how tender and moist it was. As much work as the imu is, it is worht it.
