A small copper pan tinned inside with a short handle, used for warming sauces, melting butter, or cooking a portion for one or two people. Such pans are handy in camp when a fire-cook needs to heat milk or broth without tying up the main cooking vessel, and they are light enough for a traveling cook to pack. The tinning preserves the contents, and the copper conducts heat quickly and evenly to prevent scorching.
