Alas, put nuts in kitchen implement (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spatula

'kitchen implement' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'alas put nuts' is the wordplay.
'nuts' indicates an anagram (nuts can mean crazy).
'alas'+'put'='alasput'
'alasput' is an anagram of 'SPATULA'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for spatula that I've seen before include "Broad implement for mixing or spreading" , "Kitchen utensil" , "Tool with broad flexible blade - alas, put away" , "Paul sat (anag)" , "flat mixer" .)
