2.- They are allowed to cook without they come to boil or get rid of bananas. These must be a little hard so that the consistency of the ball is adequate.
3.- Once this cooking is finished, they are lowered from the candle and left to rest until they cool down. Then they are piled in the respective pylon until the bananas are turned into a homogeneous, soft mass.
The time of pile is determined by the banana itself: when it is well piled, at its point, the mass that has formed is stuck to the pylon hand (it is an exclusive tool for pillar bananas, corn and other grains, made of wood , used mainly in the province, more than anything in the field), indicating that it does not need to be piled more.
