Catching show's opening, pan range of talent (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skill set

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'range of talent' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'catching show's opening pan' is the wordplay.
'catching' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'opening' says to take the initial letters.
'pan' becomes 'skillet' (skillet is a kind of pan).
The initial letter of 'shows' is 's'.
's' inserted into 'skillet' is 'SKILL SET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for skill set that I've seen is " capabilities".)
