This word appears in the troubling story of Amnon and Tamar, where Tamar prepares food in some kind of vessel. The exact nature of the implement is uncertain—BDB suggests it might be a dough-pan or kneading trough, while others see it as a serving pan. Some scholars propose textual emendation to read 'servant' instead. The context is Tamar's preparation of special food for her supposedly sick brother, part of Amnon's predatory scheme. Whatever the vessel's exact nature, it's associated with food preparation or serving.
