Guinness World Records Confirms Hilda Baci’s Achievement
Nigerian Chef, Damilola Adeparusi, who previously held the record for the longest cooking hours by a single individual, has responded to the confirmation of Hilda Baci as the new record holder by the Guinness World Records.
Hilda Baci’s Achievement Falls Short of Initial Claim
According to a report by Naija News, the Guinness World Records announced on Tuesday that they were unable to acknowledge Hilda Baci’s claim of 100 hours of cooking time due to discrepancies.
Instead, they confirmed her achievement with a recorded time of 93 hours 11 minutes.
Hilda Baci’s Four-Day Cooking Marathon
The official statement from the Guinness World Records revealed that Hilda Effiong Bassey, known as Hilda Baci, began her cooking marathon on Thursday, May 11, and concluded it on Monday, May 15.
Throughout the four-day period, she cooked over 100 pots of food.
Deduction of Time and Mistaken Rest Break
Although Hilda aimed to set a record of 100 hours, her final total was adjusted due to the deduction of almost seven hours.
This deduction was made because she mistakenly included extra minutes for one of her rest breaks early in the attempt.
Chef Dammy’s Appreciation and Encouragement
Chef Damilola Adeparusi expressed her appreciation to Hilda Baci in a Twitter post, acknowledging her as the best and biggest chef in Nigeria.
She also conveyed her belief that this achievement marks the beginning of even greater things to come for Hilda, and she expressed gratitude for being a significant source of motivation.
A Promising Future Ahead
Chef Dammy concluded by stating that more wins are surely coming Hilda’s way, implying that she will experience further success and accomplishments in her culinary journey.
