The longest cooking hours record was broken by Hilda Bassey Effiong, also known as Hilda Buci, a Nigerian chef.

On Monday at 7:45 a.m., Hilda smashed the previous record held by Indian chef Lata Tondon.

Tondon had prepared meals for 87 days, 4 hours, and 0 minutes.

But as of the moment this report was submitted, Hilda had been cooking for 88 hours, 19 minutes.

To cook for 96 hours is her goal.

She’s supposed to finish it by Monday at 5 o’clock.

The chef has received a ton of support, particularly from Nigerians, local celebrities, and politicians.

Hilda is continuing even though she has already smashed the record and is aiming to cook for 96 hours (9 hours longer than she had originally intended), creating a new record and being the first person to ever spend such an incredible amount of time cooking.
