'far too much' is the definition.
'superabundance' can be an answer for 'much' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'far too' bit.

'saucepan burned stews' is the wordplay.
'stews' is an anagram indicator.
'saucepan'+'burned'='saucepanburned'
'saucepanburned' with letters rearranged gives 'SUPERABUNDANCE'.
