In this sense, "lick" means a blow. She is hitting him with the pot and the pan.
"I hit him with the pot and the frying pan."
This is a common usage.
"We had a fight and I got my licks in" (I hit him several times during the fight)
"I should give him a good licking for what he did" (I should beat him up because of what he did)
"They fought for half an hour, giving lick for lick" (A hit B, then B hit A, then A hit B, then B hit A, etc. This went on for half an hour)
