To heat-start a chemical reaction. Also it can be used for flame testing of cations.

Modern labs. used electric or steam mantles for heating a reaction, because the temperature can be controlled.

The Bunsen burner was invented by the German Chemist, Robert Chemist, in the late 19th century, before e;ectric/steam mantles were invented.
