Did You Know…?
The world record for the largest pancake was set in the city of Manchester in 1994. The super-sized pancake measured 15.01 metres in diameter and weighed 3 tonnes – that’s heavier than an Asian elephant! The pancake was so enormous, it had to be flipped over using a building crane!
The world record for fastest pancake flipper belongs to the Australian chef Brad Jolly – he managed an amazing 140 flips in 60 seconds!
