Pan tester's potty now (2,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

at present

'now' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'pan tester's potty' is the wordplay.
'potty' indicates an anagram (potty can mean mad).
'pan'+'tester'='pantester'
'pantester' anagrammed gives 'AT PRESENT'.

(Other definitions for at present that I've seen before include "As of now, during this time" , "Currently, right now" , "temporarily" , "these days" , "Nowadays" .)
