The Guinness World Records has said its experts will review evidence from Hilda Baci’s cookathon and take a decision. The body made a post on its website on Tuesday, May 16, saying it was aware of the viral cookathon.
It noted that there were available media reports that Hilda Baci cooked for over 100 hours in her attempt to break a world record for the longest cooking marathon.
Hilda Baci cooked up a storm
The current record for the longest cooking marathon is held by Lata Tondon from India, who cooked for 87 hours and 45 minutes.
The body said:
“A Nigerian chef has been cooking up a storm in her kitchen in the hopes of landing a world record.
“We are aware of the record attempt and are looking forward to receiving the evidence for our Records Management Team to review before we can confirm the record is official.”
