World Ranking
When the Brandon area locals built the frying pan they never considered checking to see if there were any other large frying pans anywhere else in the world. They later found out that in Long Beach, Washington the world’s largest frying pan existed measuring 14 feet 6 inches in total length and 9 feet 6 inches rim diameter, a mere 3 inches larger than Iowa's largest frying pan. After much research the creators realized that there were many frying pans that claimed to be the world's largest pan so they just called it Iowa's largest frying pan. It probably ranks second or third in the world depending on the size of the pans in Maine and North Carolina. The world's largest frying pan is a 10-foot pan in Delaware.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or ranking:
“In former times and in less complex societies, children could find their way into the adult world by watching workers and perhaps giving them a hand; by lingering at the general store long enough to chat with, and overhear conversations of, adults...; by sharing and participating in the tasks of family and community that were necessary to survival. They were in, and of, the adult world while yet sensing themselves apart as children.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“Falsity cannot keep an idea from being beautiful; there are certain errors of such ingenuity that one could regret their not ranking among the achievements of the human mind.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
