Hilda Baci, popularly known as Hilda Baci has been officially been awarded a Guinness World Records (GWR) Plaque to commemorate her recent achievement.
She established a new Guinness World Records for the longest duration of cooking by an individual.
Hilda took to Instagram to share a heartwarming video of herself receiving the coveted GWR plaque from a dispatch rider, brimming with excitement.
The announcement by GWR confirming Baci as the new record holder came after weeks of anticipation.
Last Tuesday, the official statement was released, recognizing Baci’s remarkable achievement and applauding her for breaking barriers in the world of cooking.
“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,” declared GWR in their statement.

Baci had set her sights on reaching an impressive milestone of 100 hours, but due to an honest mistake, she inadvertently took extra minutes during one of her rest breaks early on in the attempt.
As per the rules set by GWR, participants are allowed a five-minute rest break for every continuous hour of activity.
These breaks can be accumulated if not taken, serving as the only opportunities for Baci to use the bathroom or get some much-needed rest during her grueling endeavor.
The previous record, which stood at an impressive 87 hours 45 minutes, was held by India-based chef Lata Tondon since 2019.
Baci’s exceptional cooking marathon surpassed that benchmark, leaving a lasting mark on history books.
