  Why is it called UMU?

  An umu is an above-ground oven of hot volcanic stones originating from Samoans. After the stones are heated, the top layer is removed and the food placed on top to heat/cook.

We’re “preparing” the pressure vessel similar to how you would use a stove top pressure-cooker – by placing it on our umu’s “stovetop”
