Guinness World Record holder, Hilda Baci, has revealed that she will use 250 bags of rice in her bid to cook what would become the world\u2019s biggest pot of jollof rice.
Baci, who set the global record for the longest cooking marathon in 2023, shared the details in a video uploaded on Instagram on Monday, while analysing the scale of the project, which has generated widespread curiosity.
She explained that the giant pot designed for the feat has a volume of 22,619 litres, adding that her target was to fill it up to 80 per cent.
\u201cMy goal is to fill this pot up by at least 75 to 80 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That means I will need about 5,278 kilogrammes of raw basmati rice to achieve the yield,\u201d she said.
According to her, the calculation translates to 264 bags of rice, but she had made a strategic adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am making the executive decision to do 250 bags,\u201d Baci stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On condiments, she disclosed that the cooking would require 1,583 kilogrammes of tomato paste.
\u201cFor one kg of rice, you would need between 0.20 to 0.35, but because it\u2019s Nigerian jollof, I\u2019m going to use 0.30.
\u201cThat means I will need 1,583 kilogrammes of Gino tomato paste,\u201d she said.
Baci added that the tomato base would be shared evenly across tomato paste, pepper chicken paste and jollof paste to make the \u201cmost delicious, largest pot of Nigerian jollof rice you have ever tasted.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
