Great score, wulfgar!
However, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I have to say it...Sam never carried a folding-handle frying pan (that we know of—at least based on the sole passage that describes his setup)
“All hobbits, of course, can cook, for they begin to learn the art before their letters (which many never reach): but Sam was a good cook, even by hobbit reckoning, and he had done a good deal of the camp-cooking on their travels, when there was a chance. He still hopefully carried some of his gear in his pack: a small tinder box, two small shallow pans, the smaller fitting into the larger; inside them a wooden spoon, a short two-pronged fork, and some skewers were stowed; and hidden at the bottom of the pack in a flat wooden box a dwindling treasure, some salt." (TTT 292).
Not that I think folding-handle frying pans are at all
un-hobbity, but all we can definitely say about his pans are that:
*they were shallow;
*one was larger than the other; and
*they nested together with enough space to hold a spoon, fork, and some skewers.
