Guinness World Record holder and celebrity chef Hilda Baci has moved to assure fans that the massive pot for her upcoming jollof rice record attempt at Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos is spotless and ready for use
Sharing an update on Instagram on Friday, Baci revealed that she personally washed the six-metre-wide pot with a branded detergent before the event began.
“Yes, I can officially confirm this pot is squeaky clean! I personally rolled up my sleeves and washed it myself,” she wrote, tagging the detergent brand.
She added that the pot would soon be used to create “thousands of servings of Nigerian Jollof history in the making.”
A video posted alongside the message showed Baci standing inside the giant custom-made pot, scrubbing its interior.
“I know you’re probably shocked right now — why is she inside the pot?” she joked.
Explaining further, she said: “I need to wash the pot properly. After I finish cleaning and draining it, I’ll rinse it again, then use new mopsticks to clean it once more before cooking for you.”
Baci assured attendees that the pot would be completely sanitised and promised to deliver “the most amazing, hygienic food you’ve ever eaten.”
The free event, organised in collaboration with seasoning brand Gino, is expected to host over 20,000 guests as she attempts to cook the world’s largest serving of Nigerian jollof rice.
Baci first captured global attention in May 2023 when she set a Guinness World Record with a 100-hour cooking marathon in Lagos.
