Hilda Baci and a team of assistants took nine hours to complete the popular West African dish.

The giant pot in which Nigerian chef and former Guinness World Record holder Hilda Baci attempted to make the world’s largest dish of jollof rice has broken as it was being hoisted on a crane to be weighed.

Thousands of people gathered in Lagos to watch the latest world record bid from the well-known food influencer, who in 2023 held the title for the longest cooking marathon.

Her recipe for jollof, a popular West African dish, included 4,000kg (8,800lb) of rice, 500 cartons of tomato paste and 600kg of onions - all poured into a custom-made pot that can hold 23,000 litres.
