An Irish chef, Alan Fisher has become the new Guinness World Record holder after displacing Nigeria’s Hilda Baci for the longest cooking hours of 119 hours and 57 minutes.
His feat is 24 hours more than that of the previous record held by Hilda Baci.
According to the the British organisation on Tuesday, “Alan Fisher (Ireland), an owner and chef of a restaurant in Japan, has broken two cooking-related Guinness World Records titles
“First up, he’s claimed the longest cooking marathon (individual) after clocking in a time of 119 hours 57 minutes. That is more than 24 hours longer than the previous record held by Nigerian chef Hilda Baci.”
Apart from the longest cooking marathon, Alan also broke the longest baking marathon (individual). He had a time of 47 hours and 21 minutes while the previous record holder was Wendy Sandner (USA) with a time of 31 hours and 16 minutes, the Guinness World Records added.
“What’s even more impressive is that Alan took on both attempts back to back, meaning he was at work in the kitchen for over 160 hours with just over a day of rest in between!” the post further read.
Alan cooked and baked for nine days and made 357 kg worth of soda bread and 590 kg worth of dishes (3,360 portions consisting of 32 recipes) during those times.
His feat came almost five months after the Guinness World Record confirmed Hilda’s adventurous cooking. The Nigerian broke the 87 hours and 45 minutes record held by India’s Lata Tondon in 2019.
