The Copper Saucepan is a small copper cooking pan. It can be swung as a weak improvised one-handed club that trains the Short Blunt skill. Its damage is low and it dents quickly. It is far more useful for cooking and for holding water.
It cooks pasta and rice, holds up to 600 mL of fluid and collects rainwater outside. It turns up in restaurant kitchens, ice cream shops, diners and house kitchens. A blacksmith can also forge one from a Copper Sheet.
Combat
The Copper Saucepan swings at normal speed and reaches about one tile. Each hit deals little damage. An ordinary zombie takes many swings. The critical chance is 30 percent, and a crit doubles the damage. That crit chance is high for such a small item.
With 5 condition it wears out after a few dozen hits. Higher Short Blunt skill raises speed, damage and critical chance. A Claw Hammer hits harder and lasts far longer. The saucepan suits a desperate moment in a kitchen and little else.
Uses
The Copper Saucepan is a cooking pot. With 0.6 L of water and ten portions of pasta it becomes a Copper Saucepan with Pasta. With water and ten portions of Rice it becomes a Copper Saucepan with Rice. Cooked food in it can be divided into two or four bowls. It holds up to 600 mL of fluid, and a survivor drinks from it automatically when it holds enough water. Placed on the ground outside, it collects rainwater. A worn-out pan scraps into four Copper Scrap.

Repair
The Copper Saucepan has 5 condition. At low skill it loses a point on about 1 hit in 10. The Short Blunt skill and the Maintenance skill both lower that chance. Fighting with it gives no Maintenance experience. A dented pan still scraps into Copper Scrap for metalwork.
Locations
The Copper Saucepan is an uncommon find. The best odds are on ice cream shop counters and on the shelves of restaurant kitchens. Diner back rooms, living room counters and house kitchen counters hold one now and then. Restaurant kitchens of almost every kind keep one on the counter at a low rate. That includes pizza, Mexican, Chinese, seafood and fried chicken kitchens.
