Feast your eyes on the world's largest cast iron skillet weighing 14,000 lbs. in Tennessee

[Sherman A1]

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WZTV) — Some Tennessee drivers got quite the surprise Wednesday: a giant cast iron skillet being hauled by a truck along I-59.

The massive skillet was making its way to the Lodge Cast Iron shop in South Pittsburg, where guests will eventually be able to feast their eyes on it at the Lodge Cast Iron Museum.

It's said to be the world's largest, measures over 18 feet from handle to handle and weighs a whopping 14,360 lbs. But it's just one part of the museum planning to open in late summer 2022.

They never do it right anyway. Guess that means I’ll be doing it.

2. I wonder if they'll take it over to the National Cornbread Festival, which

is in the same town, and cook up the biggest cornbread ever? They are one of the sponsors.
