'to set the pan to one side'

[Irene29]

Hi,

I've come across the phrase 'set the pan to one side to cool a little' in a recipe. What does it mean?

Thanks in advance!

It means that you need to take the pan off the heat to let the contents cool down for a short while before doing whatever the next step in the recipe tells you to do.
