“The 26-year-old Nigerian chef began on Thursday, May 11, and continued through Monday, May 15, cooking over 100 pots of food during her four-day kitchen stint.
“Hilda attempted to set a record of 100 hours, however, almost seven hours were deducted from her final total because she mistakenly took extra minutes for one of her rest breaks early on in the attempt.r
“As with all ‘longest marathon’ records, the participant is permitted a five-minute rest break for every continuous hour of activity. These rest breaks can be accumulated if not taken. They were the only times Hilda could use the bathroom or sleep during the attempt.”
The chef expressed her gratitude and excitement on Twitter after GWR confirmed her record.
Her fans on social media congratulated her, and there was wild jubilation after the announcement.
She broke the previous record of 87 hours 45 minutes, held by Lata Tondon from India in 2019.
