One kitchen container as put in another (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

basin

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

'one kitchen container' is the definition.
'basin' can be an answer for 'container' (basin is a kind of container). I'm not certain of the 'one kitchen' bit.

'as put in another' is the wordplay.
'put in' is an insertion indicator.
'another' becomes 'bin' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'as' placed into 'bin' is 'BASIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for basin that I've seen before include "Area drained by a river" , "Stoup" , "Depression in the earth's surface" , "Water receptacle" , "Washbowl" .)
