Kitchen strainer for lard, once melted (8)
I believe the answer is:
colander
'kitchen strainer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'lard once melted' is the wordplay.
'melted' indicates an anagram.
'lard'+'once'='lardonce'
'lardonce' anagrammed gives 'COLANDER'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for colander that I've seen before include "It is used to strain water from food" , "Leaky vessel" , "Container for straining water from food" , "Boiled 20 Down may be strained through this" , "Kitchen item" .)
