News Headline -Nigerian chef Hilda Bassey, popularly known as Hilda Baci, has recounted a tense moment during her Guinness World Record attempt for cooking the largest pot of jollof rice, when the custom-made giant pot unexpectedly collapsed.
In a video interview shared on X by HipTV on Tuesday, Hilda explained how the incident initially shook her confidence.
The dramatic incident occurred on September 12 at the World Jollof Festival in Lagos, where Hilda and her team cooked nearly 8,780 kilograms (about 19,356 pounds) of jollof rice in a six-metre-wide pot designed to hold 23,000 litres.
Her team promptly submitted photographic and video evidence to Guinness World Records, which later certified Hilda as the official holder of the record for the largest pot of jollof rice cooked at one time.
When I tell you grace is here and you doubt me, look at my track record.
