A mug to criticise (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pan

This clue is a double definition.

'a mug' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'criticise' is the second definition.
(informal term meaning to criticise heavily)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pan that I've seen before include "Skillet" , "Toilet bowl" , "Wash gravel" , "Try to find gold" , "boil vegetables in this" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
