How It Is Used
The solution is poured into the dish and heated until the water evaporates and the solid is left behind. Over a Bunsen burner, stand the dish on a wire gauze with a ceramic centre for even heating, turn the heat down as it nears dryness so the crystals do not spit, and let it cool on the tripod or a heat-resistant mat rather than a cold bench.
