Glass Evaporating Dish is a lab-grade borosilicate glass vessel used for concentrating solutions, evaporating liquids, and handling small to larger volumes during formulation or laboratory work. Its flat base, curved sides, and pouring spout make it especially useful for controlled heating, swirling, and cleaner transfers. This is a working lab vessel, not a storage container, and is intended for use with suitable heating methods such as hotplates or water baths. Made from Boro 3.3 glass, it offers good resistance to thermal shock and chemical attack in routine use.
♡ Why we love it: A good evaporating dish is one of those bench essentials that quickly proves its worth. The borosilicate glass is dependable, the spout makes pouring neater, and the broad size range makes it easy to choose the right dish for anything from small tests to larger reduction work.
Key properties
- Material: Borosilicate 3.3 glass

How to use
- As an Evaporating Dish: Place on a tripod, wire gauze, ceramic-top hotplate, water bath, or sand bath.
- As a Heating Vessel: Increase heat gradually and avoid heating the dish while empty.
- As a Concentration Tool: Use to reduce liquid volume slowly until the desired concentration is reached.
- As a Crystallisation Dish: Allow the solution to reduce carefully until solids begin to form.
- Processing Tip: To reduce spatter, use a watch glass cover or suitable anti-bump aid and avoid overfilling.
- Handling Tip: Allow the dish to cool on a heat-safe surface before washing.
Safety instructions
- Avoid direct flame contact with unsupported glass.
- Heat gradually and avoid sudden temperature changes.
- Do not heat the dish while empty.
- Use appropriate PPE when handling hot or reactive materials.
- Handle hot glass with tongs or heat-proof gloves.
- Store clean and dry.
- Avoid hard knocks, chipping, and sudden thermal shock.
Faqs
Q: What is this dish mainly used for?
A: It is mainly used for concentrating solutions, evaporating liquids, and supporting crystallisation or reduction
work.
Q: Can I use it on a hotplate?
A: Yes, it is suitable for hotplate use when proper support and heating practice are followed.
Q: What does the spout help with?
A: The integrated spout helps with cleaner pouring and more controlled sample transfer.
Q: Is this made from standard glass?
A: No, it is made from borosilicate 3.3 glass, which is chosen for better thermal shock and chemical resistance in
lab-style use.
