Morphology
The meaning 'a deep saucepan used for stewing' is directly derivable from combining 'stewing' (slow-cooking in liquid) with 'pan' (a cooking vessel): it simply names a pan used for stewing. This compositional, usage-based relation is cross-linguistically common and would be immediately clear to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Stewing pan is the deep pan used for 'stewing', which means 'to cook slowly in liquid'. Picture a deep pan with a tight lid where meat and vegetables cook slowly for hours, and that image explains why the name means 'a deep saucepan used for stewing food'.
