In May, Baci undertook an attempt to break the record of 87
hours 45 minutes set by Lata Tondon, the India chef, in 2019.
She cooked over 100 pots of food during her four-day kitchen
stint.
GWR, however, said seven hours were deducted from her
100-hour stint “because mistakenly took extra minutes for one of her rest
breaks early on in the attempt”.
“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,” the
post added.
“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 development comes amid ongoing attempt by Damilola
Adeparusi, the Ekiti chef, to attain a new of 120-hour.
