Cooking utensil a mother needs for the country (6)
I believe the answer is:
panama
'for the country' is the definition.
(Panama is an example)
'cooking utensil a mother' is the wordplay.
'cooking utensil' becomes 'pan' (pan is a kind of cooking utensil).
'mother' becomes 'ma' (ma is a kind of mother).
'pan'+'a'+'ma'='PANAMA'
'needs' is the link.
(Other definitions for panama that I've seen before include "Hat made of plaited palm leaves" , "Great canal in middle America" , "Wide-brimmed hat" , "Headgear for a canal" , "Country and straw hat" .)
