Last week, a semi truck pulled a trailer marked “oversize load” down Interstate 59 on its way toward South Pittsburg, Tennessee. On that trailer sat a gargantuan cast iron skillet. • VIDEO
The skillet is the brainchild of Lodge Cast Iron, a company that makes cast-iron cookware. Lodge shared a short video showing the skillet rolling down the road, tweeting, “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 museum is expected to open in late summer 2022 in South Pittsburg where Lodge has been in residence since 1896. The skillet — which spans 18 feet and weighs 14,360 pounds — is large enough to simultaneously fry up 27 ostrich eggs.
