Hilda Baci Breaks Down the Math Behind Her Plan to Cook 250 Bags of Rice in World’s Largest Pot of Jollof

Nigerian celebrity chef and Guinness World Record holder, Hilda Baci, has sparked excitement across social media after revealing new details about her ambitious attempt to cook the world’s largest pot of Jollof rice.

In a video posted on her verified Instagram account on Monday, Hilda addressed one of the most-asked questions: Why 250 bags of rice?

Breaking down the math behind the decision, the culinary star explained how she calculated the required quantity based on the dimensions of the pot—a giant custom-made cooking vessel measuring six metres wide and six metres tall.

“I’ve done the math,” she assured her followers. “This isn’t guesswork — it’s precise calculation based on the pot’s volume and the cooking process.”

The cooking event, which is scheduled to take place on September 12, 2025, is already drawing massive attention from fans, food lovers, and celebrities alike, all eager to witness what could become another historic moment for the Nigerian chef.

Hilda, who shot to global fame after setting the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual, is no stranger to pushing boundaries. But this new feat — cooking 250 bags of rice in one pot — may become one of her most jaw-dropping stunts yet.

“This isn’t just about setting a record,” she said in the video. “It’s about celebrating Nigerian cuisine and showing the world just how big our Jollof dreams can be.”

As anticipation builds for the September event, Hilda’s name continues to trend, with fans praising her creativity, ambition, and meticulous planning.
