Watch how Hilda Baci reacted after Guinness announced her as the new world record holder

Earlier today, Guinness World Records (GWR) recognised Hilda Baci as the new record holder for the longest cooking by an individual.

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 and 11 minutes.

The previous record of 87 hours 45 minutes was set by Lata Tondon (India) in 2019.

The Nigerian Chef 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.
