The World’s Largest Skillet

You don’t see this everyday…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. 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.” You heard that right. Not only is America home to the world’s largest cast iron skillet, but a “cast iron museum” is currently under construction in Tennessee. The museum is expected to open in late summer 2022 in South Pittsburg where Lodge has been in residence since 1896.
