Celebrity chef and restaurateur Hilda Baci is setting her sights on another Guinness World Record, this time for the largest pot of Nigerian jollof rice.
The record hopeful revealed on Instagram and TikTok that her official attempt will begin on September 12 in Lagos, where she plans to cook jollof rice in a massive 6-by-6-meter pot.
To ensure a smooth process on the big day, Hilda conducted a trial run just hours after her announcement.
A circulating video showed her and her team carefully testing the giant pot, preparing a jollof rice dish to evaluate the tools, heat distribution, and overall logistics.
The update quickly gained attention online, sparking excitement and conversation among Nigerians.
Many praised her ambition and determination, while others eagerly anticipated witnessing another history-making moment from the chef who already holds the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
If successful, the new record will further cement Hilda Baci’s place as one of Nigeria’s most celebrated culinary icons.
