Nigerian celebrity chef Hilda Baci has outdone herself again by setting a new Guinness World Record for the largest pot of jollof rice. The monumental event unfolded last Friday, where Baci and her team cooked an astonishing 8,780 kilograms of the quintessential West African dish.
Guinness World Records made the confirmation on Monday, recognizing Baci's feat, which far surpassed the previous benchmark of 4,700 kilograms of rice. The day-long cooking session at Victoria Island witnessed a dramatic moment when the pot collapsed during weighing, yet the team prevailed to serve hundreds of enthusiastic supporters.
Baci's earlier record for the longest cooking marathon was surpassed, yet her latest achievement has inspired a wave of record-breaking attempts in West Africa. These ambitions, fostered by young individuals seeking global acclaim, span various categories from book reading to rope skipping.
