Guinness Confirms Baci As World's Longest Cooking Record

Guinness World Records, GWR, has confirmed Nigeria's Hilda Baci as the new owner of the longest cooking record.

GWR gave the confirmation on its official website on Tuesday. 

“Following a thorough review of all the evidence, Guinness World Records can now confirm that Hilda Effiong Bassey, better known as Hilda Baci, has officially broken the record for the longest cooking marathon (individual), with a time of 93 hours 11 minutes.

“The 26-year-old Nigerian chef began on Thursday 11 May and continued through to Monday 15 May, cooking over 100 pots of food during her four-day kitchen stint.

“Hilda attempted to set a record of 100 hours, however, almost seven hours were deducted from her final total because she mistakenly took extra minutes for one of her rest breaks early on in the attempt.”

Baci, who was obviously elated by the confirmation, described it as the best news ever. 

“This is the best news ever omg omg omg thank you so much
