An evaporating basin or evaporating dish is a small basin used to evaporate liquids to obtain the dry forms of the substances dissolved in them. Evaporating basins typically have a 4–5-inch (100–130 mm) diameter, are made out of white ceramic, and have a lip for the pouring of excess liquid. They are usually 2–3 mm thick to aid heat transfer.
When used with a bunsen burner they are placed on top of a wire gauze and tripod stand.
