Greek god — of use in the kitchen (3)
I believe the answer is:
pan
'greek god' is the definition.
(Pan is an example)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pan that I've seen before include "In Greek myth, the god of flocks and herds" , "Woodland god with merry merry pipes" , "A vessel; criticise strongly" , "Criticise - cooking vessel" , "Skillet" .)
