Nigerian Chef Sets World Record with 100 Hours of Nonstop Cooking

Nigerian chef Hilda Baci cooked nonstop for 100 hours, surpassing the Guinness World Record of 87 hours and 45 minutes set in 2019 by an Indian chef. Baci cooked dozens of Nigerian delicacies, including the iconic Jollof rice, to campaign for young African women who are sidelined in society. She took five-minute breaks every hour and one hour after a stretch of 12 hours of cooking for everything else, from bathing to medical checkups and resting. Thousands of locals and celebrities cheered her on at the scene through day and night, and many more monitored online via several streaming platforms.
