You may have nanna’s hand-me-down cast-iron skillet, but it won’t measure up to the one that was recently seen being hauled along a Tennessee interstate.
Lodge Cast Iron has created what it says is the world’s largest cast-iron skillet.
The frying pan is more than 18 feet long from handle to handle and weighs 14,360 pounds, WZTV reported.
If you were driving down I59 yesterday, you might have seen something special headed north! The World's Largest Cast Iron Skillet made its way to our campus to find its home in the Lodge Cast Iron Museum that is currently under construction.

The overly large pan was cast to be a feature at the new Lodge Cast Iron Museum that is expected to open later this year.
The museum will take a look at the history of the iconic cookware and it will show visitors how they are made.
The attraction will also share the stories of cast-iron collections and the food that’s made in them.
Lodge has been making the cookware since 1896 in family-owned foundries in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, WZTV reported.
Some on social media responded to the images of the pan strapped down to the tractor-trailer with comments saying they would do the one thing no one should ever do with a seasoned cast-iron piece — put it in the dishwasher, Mashable reported.
