KÄlua is a traditional Hawaiian cooking method that utilizes an imu, a type of underground oven. The word kÄlua, which literally means to cook in an underground oven, may also be used to describe the food cooked in this manner, such as kÄlua pig or kÄlua turkey, which are commonly served at luau feasts.he pit is usually about 6 feet (1.8 m) long, 4 feet (1.2 m) wide and 3 ft (90 cm) deep. Rocks are then placed in the pit to retain cooking heat long after the flames have burned down. Once the rocks have become extremely hot, the hole is lined with traditional vegetation, such as banana leaves.
