During the cook-a-thon, the chef was only allowed a one-hour break in 12 hours. She spent the break napping and getting medial attention.

Hilda was not permitted to sit while cooking.

She was not allowed to take coffee, stimulants, or any energy drink to artificially boost her energy and bodily strength while cooking

The record-breaker was, however, allowed to eat food, drink water or fruit juice, and take glucose.

Hilda cooked different meals simultaneously and had liberty to cook any meal she wanted.

Several political leaders, including President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, President-elect Bola Tinubu, Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Former Anambra Governor Peter Obi, Former Akwa Ibom Governor, Godswill Akpabio, and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, have praised the Akwa Ibom-born chef for her inspiring and daring move.
