Dict: easton - Pan

easton:

Pan @ a vessel of metal or earthenware used in culinary operations; a cooking-pan or frying-pan frequently referred to in the Old Testament kjv@Leviticus:2:5 kjv@Leviticus:6:21; kjv@Numbers:11:8; kjv@1Samuel:2:14, etc.). The "ash-pans" mentioned in kjv@Exodus:27:3 were made of copper, and were used in connection with the altar of burnt-offering. The "iron pan" mentioned in kjv@Ezekiel:4:3 (marg., "flat plate " or "slice") was probably a mere plate of iron used for baking. The "fire-pans" of kjv@Exodus:27:3 were fire-shovels used for taking up coals. The same Hebrew word is rendered "snuff-dishes" (25:38; 37:23) and "censers" kjv@Leviticus:10:1 kjv@Leviticus:16:12; kjv@Numbers:4:14, etc.). These were probably simply metal vessels employed for carrying burning embers from the brazen altar to the altar of incense. The "frying-pan" mentioned in kjv@Leviticus:2:7 kjv@Leviticus:7:9 was a pot for boiling.
