Nigerian chef Hilda Baci experienced fear when her massive cooking pot failed during her attempt to set a world record for preparing jollof rice. The custom-built vessel collapsed while a crane lifted it for official weighing at the World Jollof Festival on September 12 in Lagos. Baci admitted her heart pounded during those first moments after the structural failure occurred. The chef prioritized serving food to attendees rather than achieving the record itself. She later recognized the accident as beneficial since distributing the rice became much simpler.

The cooking team had prepared approximately 8,780 kilograms of jollof rice using a six-meter-wide pot designed to contain 23,000 liters. The support legs gave way during the weighing process, although the food remained undamaged throughout the incident. Baci and her assistants quickly documented the collapse with photographs and video footage for Guinness World Records officials. Their rapid response maintained the credibility of their submission process. Guinness World Records eventually certified Baci as the official holder for cooking the largest pot of jollof rice simultaneously.
