People stared in bewilderment this afternoon as the world's largest cooking pot was lowered by a crane at Victory Square, Vittoriosa, ahead of Malta's biggest cookery event tomorrow as part of BirguFest.

The pot, large enough to hold risotto for 5,000 people, has a diameter of 3.30 metres and weighs 520 kilos.

People buying a plate of risotto will be making a contribution to Dar tal-Providenza.

The event is being organised by Execoor. The final phase of the cooking will start at 8 p.m.
