Morphology

electric + baking + pan

The meaning 'an electrically powered pan used for baking' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'electric' (using electrical power) with 'baking' (related to cooking in an oven) and 'pan' (a cooking vessel). This adjective+noun+noun composition follows standard compounding patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily infer the intended meaning.

Etymology

Electric baking pan is a simple, literal name that joins electric (runs on electricity) and baking pan (a shallow pan for cooking). Imagine a pan with its own little heater you can 'plug in' on the table — that's why it means a pan powered by electricity for baking, grilling, or frying.
