Snap up things wanted for the kitchen (4)

I believe the answer is:

pans

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

'wanted for the kitchen' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'snap up' is the wordplay.
'up' says the letters should be written backwards (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'snap' back-to-front is 'PANS'.

'things' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pans that I've seen before include "Cooking utensils" , "Kitchen utensils" , "vessels" , "Criticises" , "kitchen equipment" .)
