Spanish vessel? (3)

I believe the answer is:

pan

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

'vessel?' is the definition.
(vessel or container for cooking)

'spanish' is the wordplay.
'PAN' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pan that I've seen before include "Slate - cooking vessel" , "Roast" , "Criticise - cooking vessel" , "Cooking container; god" , "piece in the kitchen" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
