Chef Hilda Baci Explains Reduction in Rice Quantity for World Record

Nigerian celebrity chef Hilda Baci revealed the reason behind reducing the quantity of rice for her Guinness World Record attempt at cooking the largest serving of Jollof rice. Initially planning to cook 250 bags of rice, she scaled it down to 200 bags due to technical limitations with the weighing equipment.

Despite the reduction, the 200 bags of rice were still sufficient to feed a large number of people. Baci emphasized the goal of creating a unifying culinary experience and breaking the record.

The meticulous planning and execution of the project took nearly a year, with the cooking process lasting about nine hours. Guinness World Records acknowledged Baci's attempt and wished her success in achieving the record.
