As an American I have no idea what a milk pan is so I'm just as confused.

Milk pan, abbreviated "mp" is part of the metric system, hence not being taught to most Americans.

Ten times smaller are individual egg pans, or "ep".

Ten times larger you've got pizza pan, aka "pp".

So what you’re telling me is that even a small pp is still adequate?

For the vast majority of egg pans, yes indeed.

Pretty sure it’s just a really big bowl, kinda like a fruit bowl, it was used for separating milk and cream by letting it sit till the cream rises to the top

Imperial system was first.

That's usually the case with outdated systems.

TIL that the world's largest snowflake on record measured 15 inches wide and 8 inches thick. It fell in Fort Keogh, Montana in 1887 and was reported to be "larger than milk pans."
