Pathetic cooking pot I use (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

piteous

'pathetic' is the definition.
(I know that pathetic can be written as piteous)

'cooking pot i use' is the wordplay.
'cooking' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked up into a new form).
'pot'+'i'+'use'='potiuse'
'potiuse' with letters rearranged gives 'PITEOUS'.

(Other definitions for piteous that I've seen before include "Heart-rending" , "Deserving sympathy" , "Arousing sorrow and compassion" , "Woeful" , "Deserving compassion" .)
