This might be a double definition.

'wild god' is the first definition.
'Pan' can be an answer for 'god' (Pan is an example). I am not sure about the 'wild' bit.

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

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pan that I've seen before include "A vessel; criticise strongly" , "A vessel; chimp genus" , "Cooking container; god" , "Greek nature god" , "Roast" .)
