After the announcement on Twitter, a netizen asked if a year was not supposed to pass before another chef would make an attempt on Hilda's record.
Records can be broken anytime
To answer the question, the world record body dismissed the notion as untrue and said an existing record could be broken at any time.
GWR said:
"That was just a rumour, records can be broken anytime! The record body further says Alan Fisher who owns a restaurant in Japan cooked for 119 hours 57 minutes which is longer than Hilda's 97 hours and 11 minutes.

Announcing the new record holder, GWR said:
"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."
