The evaporating dish is used to heat and evaporate liquids.
This porcelain item resembles a shallow bowl with a spout. Evaporating dishes are traditionally used to evaporate solvent to concentrate a solution; however they can also be used to hold sand for a sand bath, as a small water bath, or as a drying dish (like a watch glass).
If heated by a direct flame, it will often be placed on a clay triangle for support.

MaxineThis is unknown, but we do know that as far back as ancient Sumerian times (thousands and thousands of years ago) they were well aware of evaporation, and used it to get salt from the sea.
It is mentioned in babylonian texts and in The Bible.
- Jer 10:13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth.
- Ps 135:7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth.
There is no single professor or scientist that is accredited with the discovery, because it has been part of the general pool of human knowledge for tens of thousands of years.
Nils Wallerius - Swedish - between 1739 - 1747 made a special study of evaporation.

What does an evaporating dish looks like?
An evaporating dish is a shallow, wide dish that is meant to create a large surface area exposed to air. It is used to allow liquids to evaporate into the air quickly.
What is the uses of evaporating dish?
Also known as watch glasses, evaporating dishes are used in chemistry in order to evaporate substances, most usually water, to produce a more concentrated solution or a solid precipitate of the dissolved substance.
What is Evaporating Dish used for?
They are used to evaporate liquids. Specifically, the goal is to separate the fluid from any dissolved solids therein. Lets say you want to get salt out of water- you can't drain them by hand, so you evaporate the water, which leaves the salt there.
