A pan used for baking patties.
1780, William Cowper, letter, 5 June:
No comments yet — say something.
(chiefly, North America) A small variety of squash with a scalloped rim and creamy white flesh; a pattypan squash.
: I heard the most uncommon and unaccountable noise that can be imagined. It was, in fact, occasioned by the clattering of tin pattypans and a Dutch oven against the sides of the panniers.
