Oil bath glassware

CycloRook - 10-2-2022 at 08:09

I used to have an evaporating dish from Pyrex that I broke.

Does anyone know of a sturdy glass bowl from Pyrex that I can use as a oil bath for 2000ml RBFs

I'm trying to avoid metal as I have a hotplate stirrer from corning.

I also don't want to be heating this and it shatter.

Any suggestions?

A 190 mm Pyrex Crystallizing dish is ideal for that purpose. You can find them used on Ebay.

I've bought few pieces of used kitchen aluminium pots of various sizes from second hand shop (1-2 EUR per piece).
