Staff and students at the University of Massachusetts celebrated the start of the new semester by making the world's biggest stir-fry.

Using a custom-built, 4.27m-wide frying pan, the 1820kg meal included 360kg of chicken, 227kg of onions, 180kg of carrots and 135kg of broccoli.

They also added capsicum, green beans, bok choy, peanuts, basil and garlic.

It was cooked in 23kg of canola oil.

Ken Toong, executive director of Auxiliary Enterprises at UMass-Amherst, says the purpose was to stress sustainability and promoting healthy eating. Many of the vegetables were grown at a student-run farm.

A Guinness Book of World Records representative was on hand to certify the record.

The previous record was 1050kg.
