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.
