If your grain offering is cooked in a pan, it is to be made of the finest flour and olive oil. The pan-cooked grain offering is the third preparation method — similar to the griddle but with a deeper vessel, possibly allowing for a moister preparation. The three cooking methods (oven, griddle, pan) together cover the range of household cooking equipment available in the ancient Near East, ensuring that the grain offering can be prepared in whatever cooking context the offerer has. The finest flour and olive oil remain constant across all three methods: the quality of the ingredients is not negotiable, but the method of preparation accommodates the offerer's circumstances.
