Hilda Baci Receives Guinness World Records Confirmation Plaque
Popular Nigerian chef, Hilda Bassey aka Hilda Baci, has collected the Guinness World Records (GWR) plaque confirming her recent achievement as record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
An elated Baci revealed this in an Instagram post on Monday with a video of her receiving the plaque from a dispatch rider.
Recall that GWR finally made an announcement confirming Baci as the new record holder last 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,” GWR said in a statement issued on Tuesday, one month after Baci’s adventurous cooking.
According to GWR, Baci 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.
