Guinness World Record confirms Hilda Baci broke world’s longest cooking marathon

Hilda Effiong Bassey, better known by her stage name Hilda Baci, has now been recognized by Guinness World Records as having broken the record for the longest cooking marathon. 

Hilda Baci reportedly beat the previous record with a time of 93 hours and 11 minutes.

The previous benchmark, which Lata Tondon (India) established in 2019, was 87 hours and 45 minutes.

The 26-year-old Nigerian chef worked in the kitchen for four days, starting on Thursday, May 11, and finishing on Monday, May 15, producing almost 100 pots of food.

Hilda, meantime, tried to achieve a record of 100 hours, but 7 hours were subtracted from her total because she accidentally overstayed one of her rest breaks early in the endeavor.
