Celebrity chef and restaurateur, Hilda Baci, is gearing up for another Guinness World Record attempt — this time to cook the largest pot of Nigerian jollof rice.
The culinary star took to Instagram and TikTok to announce that the official attempt will kick off on September 12 in Lagos, where she plans to prepare the iconic West African delicacy in a gigantic 6-by-6-meter pot.
In preparation for the big day, Hilda and her team conducted a trial run just hours after the announcement was made. A circulating video showed them testing the massive pot, cooking a smaller batch of jollof rice to check heat distribution, cooking tools, and logistics for the main event.
The news has sparked excitement online, with many Nigerians praising Hilda’s determination and ambition. Fans have expressed eagerness to witness another groundbreaking feat from the chef who already holds the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
If successful, the achievement will further solidify Hilda Baci’s legacy as one of Nigeria’s most celebrated culinary icons.
