Crossword Genius

Right after work, erected spit to create dish (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

porringer

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

'dish' is the definition.
(I know that porringer is a type of bowl)

'right after work erected spit' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'erected' says the letters should be written backwards (in a down clue, letters go up).
'spit' becomes 'ringer' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'r'+'op'='rop'
'rop' reversed gives 'por'.
'por'+'ringer'='PORRINGER'

'to create' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for porringer that I've seen before include "Soup bowl with handle" , "soup-bowl" , "Small dish" .)
