Hilda Baci: Guinness World Records Makes Official Statement

Guinness World Records has made an official announcement regarding Hilda Bassey Effiong, a Nigerian chef widely known as Hilda Baci.

The statement was released on the organization’s official website on Tuesday.

Baci recently broke the record for the longest cooking time by an individual, previously held by Indian chef Lata Tondon.

Tondon had completed the task in 87 hours, 45 minutes, and 00 secs in Rewa, in 2019.

It read:

“She’s hoping to snap up the record title for the longest cooking marathon (individual) which currently belongs to Lata Tondon (India) with a time of 87 hr 45 min.

“Hilda began cooking on Thursday and continued through to Monday, reportedly whipping up 55 recipes and more than 100 meals in a whopping 100-hour stint.

“Officials on our records team look forward to reviewing the evidence and hope to be able to verify Hilda’s efforts as a new record very soon.”

One of the spokespersons of the British reference body said:

“We are looking forward to receiving the evidence for its Records Management Team to review before we can confirm the record is official.”

27-year-old Baci had initially scheduled to stop in her former 96-hour target surpassing the current Guinness World Record holder but eventually surpassed the 96-hour target and has now achieved a 100-hour record time.
