Cook's pan (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roast

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'cook's' is the first definition.
(roasting is a kind of cooking)

'pan' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for roast that I've seen before include "Cook with dry heat" , "Cook in oven or by exposure to heat" , "Have a go at" , "Cooked like chestnuts tonight" , "Cook (meat) in oven" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal, The Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
