    The dish is then closed and heated at high temperature until completely clean, fused silica is produced. Comparison of the initial weight of the substance and that of the fused silica allows the content of silicon in the sample to be determined. A generic evaporator dish. The shape of the evaporating dish encourages evaporation in two ways:
