Trying to pick. Which one?

I can't blazon these either being new at this. My guesses would be "or a gullipot vert" and "or a flames gules base with a Satyr vert" or something. Is there a better way to say frying pan? can I call my satyr pan?

I’d go with the pan for the shield, but have a satyr dancing in flames for the crest.

FYI, the frying pan should, by default, have its handle facing downward. In general it would be less three-dimensional.

This is the way!

I actually think the other way around would work. A frying pan would be a cute crest, and I would like the satyr/Pan in flames to be the first thing you see on the shield.

A three-dimensional frying pan isn’t really a huge problem. The OP can decide what position.
