Evaporating dishes with spouts are essential components in labs across many scientific disciplines. These plates, usually constructed of high-quality ceramic, porcelain, or glass, are particularly intended for heating and evaporating liquids, which is a necessary step in many chemical investigations. These dishes, which have a spout, give an extra degree of accuracy and simplicity for pouring out concentrated solutions or leftovers left over from evaporation.

An evaporating dish is a shallow, heat-resistant receptacle used in labs to remove surplus solvents, often water, from chemical solutions. The addition of a spout in this dish increases the ability to pour liquids without spilling, making it an essential feature for operations that need careful manipulation of chemical solutions or extracts.

The materials used in these dishes are chosen for their capacity to endure severe temperatures, making them suitable for both low and high temperature applications. Most evaporating dishes are constructed of:

• Ceramic: Resistant to high temperatures and chemically inert.
• Porcelain: known for its durability and heat resistance.
• Borosilicate glass: Transparent, allowing for visual inspection of the evaporation process and resistance to heat shock.
