Guinness World Record holder and chef, Hilda Baci, has reassured fans of the hygiene of the giant pot she intends to use for her record-breaking jollof rice attempt at Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos.
In an Instagram post shared today, Hilda Baci said she personally washed the massive six-metre-wide pot using a branded detergent, before the event kicked off.
“Yes, I can officially confirm this pot is squeaky clean! l personally rolled up my sleeves and washed it myself,” she wrote.
“In just a few hours, this same pot will be home to thousands of servings of Nigerian Jollof history in the making,” she added.
In a clip, the chef was seen inside the large pot as she scrubbed its interior.
“I know you’re probably about to pop your eyeballs out. Why is she inside the pot?” she said jokingly.
“The reason I’m inside the pot at this moment is because I need to wash the pot.
“I can assure you that once I am done washing the interior of the pot and I’ve gotten rid of all the liquid, I’m going to rinse it again, and I have brand new mopsticks that I would be using to clean it once again before we use it to cook for you.”
Hilda Baci promised that the pot would be fully cleaned before the cooking began and pledged to serve “the most amazing, hygienic food you’ve ever eaten.”
