Hilda Baci cleans giant pot ahead of record-breaking jollof rice cook-off
Celebrity chef and Guinness World Record holder Hilda Baci has assured fans of the cleanliness of the massive pot she will use for her record-breaking jollof rice attempt at Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos.
In an Instagram post on Friday, Baci revealed that she personally scrubbed the six-metre-wide custom-made pot with a branded detergent ahead of the event.
“Yes, I can officially confirm this pot is squeaky clean! I rolled up my sleeves and washed it myself,” she wrote, tagging the detergent brand. “In just a few hours, this same pot will hold thousands of servings of Nigerian jollof history in the making.”
A video accompanying the post showed Baci inside the pot, scrubbing its interior. Joking about the unusual sight, she said, “I know you’re wondering why I’m inside the pot. Well, it’s because I need to wash it properly.”
She further explained that after scrubbing and draining the pot, she would rinse it again and sanitise it with brand-new mop sticks before cooking begins.
Baci assured the public that the pot would be thoroughly sanitised, promising to serve “the most amazing, hygienic food you’ve ever eaten.”
The free event, organised in partnership with seasoning brand Gino, is expected to draw more than 20,000 people as Baci attempts to cook the world’s largest pot of Nigerian jollof rice.
