Nigerian chef and restaurateur Hilda Baci has disclosed that she was overwhelmed with dread when her custom-made giant pot unexpectedly collapsed during her successful Guinness World Record attempt for cooking the largest pot of jollof rice. Speaking via a video shared on 𝕏 by HipTV, Hilda, however, stated that it was good the pot collapsed because it made it easier to serve the food. The chef said that what mattered most to her during the attempt was serving the food rather than the record itself. She said, “When we had the mishap with the pot, my first few seconds, my heart was in my hands. As the crane lifted the pot for weighing, one side gave way and the supporting legs buckled, though the food remained intact.
