A bucket that learned to cook, demoted from royalty to your worst boil-over disasters.
means A deep cooking pot with a single long handle and usually a lid, used on the stovetop for boiling, simmering, and making sauces.
from A transparent compound: "sauce" plus "pan." "Sauce" comes through Old French from Latin "salsa," meaning "salted" (the same root that gives us salt, salad, and sausage), while "pan" descends from Old English "panne," a cousin of the German "Pfanne." So the name says exactly what it is — a pan once thought of specifically for making sauces, before it cheerfully took on every other job in the kitchen.
