Container for cooked cutlets (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scuttle

'container' is the definition.
(I know that scuttle is a type of container)

'cooked cutlets' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'cutlets' with letters rearranged gives 'SCUTTLE'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for scuttle that I've seen before include "container carrying coal?" , "coal carrier" , "Move quickly" , "Coal bucket" , "Shallow basket" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
