Hilda Baci dethroned as Irish chef breaks Guinness World Records

The record for the longest cooking marathon has been surpassed by Nigerian chef Hilda Effiong Bassey, also referred to as Hilda Baci.

Alan Fisher is now the official record holder, as recognised by Guinness World Records (GWR).

The statement said, "Alan Fisher (Ireland), the owner and chef of a restaurant in Japan, has broken two Guinness World Records titles related to cooking."

First off, with a time of 119 hours 57 minutes, he has declared himself the winner of the longest cooking marathon (individual). That surpasses the previous record by over 24 hours, which was held by Hilda Baci, a Nigerian cook.

After that, Alan declared that he had completed the longest baking marathon (individual) in 47 hours and 21 minutes. With a time of 31 hours 16 minutes, Wendy Sandner (USA) held the previous record.

Even more amazing is the fact that Alan completed both attempts back-to-back, putting in more than 160 hours of work in the kitchen with only a day's break in between!

The record for the longest cooking marathon was first set in June by Hilda Baci.

But thanks to his accomplishments, Alan Fisher now has these esteemed distinctions from Guinness World Records.

In an attempt to shatter the record, Hilda Baci cooked nonstop for many days, resulting in nearly 100 pots of food. Her initial objective was to complete 100 hours, but a small mistake about one of her rest intervals caused her total time to be deducted.

The previous record of 87 hours and 45 minutes was broken by Hilda Baci; Lata Tondon, an Indian, had held it since 2019.
