 | | The giant bagel weighed 868 pounds, measured 6 feet in diameter and required a small crane to hoist it out of its custom-built oven. |
 | | Until Guinness officially certifies the achievement as the new world record — a process expected to take eight to 10 weeks — the record remains with rival Lender's Bagels (search) and its 714-pound blueberry bagel baked in Mattoon, Ill., on July 23, 1998. |
 | | The 8-foot-square, 4-foot-high machine allowed chefs to boil the bagel in 900 gallons of water for 30 minutes, then, after draining the tank, to bake it at 300 degrees for just over 10 hours, said Dave Williams, Madco's project manager. |
