Hilda Baci Largest Jollof Record Attempt Takes a Turn as Pot Breaks While Weighing

It was a dramatic moment during Hilda Baci’s Guinness World Record attempt when one of her cooking pots unexpectedly broke while being weighed.

The incident, which drew gasps from onlookers, has since sparked conversations online about the intensity and pressure behind such historic feats.

Hilda, who shot to fame with her marathon cooking session that pushed the boundaries of endurance, has been celebrated worldwide for showcasing Nigerian cuisine on a global stage. Her attempt, beyond just cooking, symbolized resilience, creativity, and national pride.

Eyewitnesses at the scene reported that the pot cracked just as officials and assistants tried to weigh it for documentation purposes. While the breakage didn’t directly impact the essence of her record attempt — which is based on cooking duration rather than pot size or weight — the incident highlighted the sheer weight of food and equipment involved in such a massive culinary task.

Fans have since taken to social media, turning the “pot breaking” moment into a talking point. Some joked that the pot “couldn’t handle the world record pressure,” while others praised Hilda’s composure in continuing the challenge without losing focus.
