The specially made pot for this massive cooking project can hold 22,619 litres. Baci aims to fill it up to 75-80% capacity, which will require about 5,278 kilograms of basmati rice. Although this weight equates to 264 bags of rice, she decided to use 250 bags for the attempt.

She also shared the quantities of condiments needed, including 1,583 kilograms of tomato paste. To maintain authentic flavor, the tomato base will be distributed equally among tomato paste, pepper chicken paste, and jollof paste. Baci explained that while one kilogram of rice generally requires 0.20 to 0.35 kilograms of paste, she will use 0.30 kilograms per kilogram of rice to bring out the signature taste of Nigerian jollof rice.
