Ngā mīhini horoi rongoāhe taputapu tino nui i roto i te umanga rongoā, e whakamahia ana mō te horoi me te whakahoromata i ngā taputapu, ngā ipu, ngā paipa, me ētahi atu. Ko tā rātou mahi matua he ārai i te whakawhiti-paru i te wā e hangaia ana te rongoā, kia mau ai te kounga me te haumaru o te hua. Heoi, me te pikinga ake o te whakamahinga, ka ara ake pea ngā take tiaki me te whakahaere, ā, he mea nui te tiaki me te rapurongoā whai hua.

Te Tiaki Auau

①Te Horoi me te Tirotiro Auau

Puritia tePmīhini horoi matūāHoroia te taha o waho, ā, tirohia tonutia mēnā he paru, he toenga hopi rānei, kia kore ai e pā kino ki tōna roanga ora. Kia aro nui ki te putanga me te putanga o te wai, kia kore ai e araia e te paru.

②Tirotiro Pūnaha Tātari

Ngā mīhini horoi rongoāKo te tikanga he pūnaha tātari hei tango i ngā poke i te wā e horoi ana. Horoia te mata tātari i ia wā kia kore ai e purua. Whakakapia te tātari hau i ia 300–500 huringa whakamaroke kia mau tonu ai te pai o te tātari.

③Te Tirotiro i te Tukunga Wai me te Paipa

He mea nui te puna wai mō te horoi pai. Tirohia ngā ngongo me ngā hononga i ia wā mō ngā turuturu, ngā pakaru rānei, kia mau tonu ai te rere o te wai. Kia mau tonu ki ngā paerewa kounga wai e tika ana kia kore ai e poke.

④Tirotiro Pūnaha Whakamahana me te Whakahaere Pāmahana:
Ka arotauhia e te pūnaha whakamahana whakauru te pai o te horoi. Whakamātauria ngā wāhanga whakamahana i ia wā mō te pono o te mahi, ā, whakatikatikahia te waeine whakahaere pāmahana kia mau tonu ai te tika. Mēnā ka rerekē te pāmahana i waho o te awhe kua tohua, ka pā kino pea ki ngā hua horoi me te mahi a te mīhini.

Hei wāhanga nui i roto i te hanga rongoā, ko te tiaki tika me te rapurongoā ongā mīhini horoiKa pā tika ki te kounga o te rongoā me te whai huatanga o te hanga. Mā ngā tirotiro auau, te tiaki i te wā tika, me te whakatau wawe i ngā raruraru ka roa ake te ora o te mīhini, ka whakapai ake i te whai huatanga o te mahi, ā, ka whakarite i te ma me te haumaru i roto i te mahi whakaputa. Mā te whakatika wawe i ngā hapa ka āwhina i te pupuri i te mahi pumau mō te wā roa, ka ārai i ngā whakaroa whakaputa, i ngā take kounga rānei.
