You make a hole in the solid and stick a heater in it. To improve the effectivity you can fill the hole as well with oil so that the heater has maximum contact with the solid. Or put the solid in a pot of boiling oil.

Depending on the substance, you may need a different method of heating. A Bunsen burner with tongs is one method. If you don't want the substance to burn, then you might try the above method except first putting the test substance in a test tube. Otherwise, try a hot plate which is just a slow-cooking stove.
