I believe the answer is:

waffle iron

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'kitchen device' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'gas applied to metal' is the wordplay.
'gas' becomes 'waffle' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'applied to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'metal' becomes 'iron' (iron is a metal).
'waffle'+'iron'='WAFFLE-IRON'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for waffle iron that I've seen is " Baker".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
