The Guinness World Records have finally confirmed Hilda Baci as the person with the longest cooking hours in the world.
The famous Nigerian chef who has become the talk on social media earlier this morning broke the Guinness World Record for Marathon cooking.
The first female who is from India, Lata Tondon held the record-breaker title for cooking continuously for eighty-seven hours, 45 minutes.
In the quest to be the new record breaker, Hilda Baci cooked for 100 hours.
But Guinness World Record deducted seven hours from Chef Hilda Baci’s 100-hour attempt to become the Guinness World Record holder for the longest cooking marathon.
Explaining why Hilda was awarded 93 hours, 11 minutes, and not 100 hours, the management of Guinness World Records said she “mistakenly took extra minutes for one of her rest breaks early on in the attempt.”
