crucible
Most commonly a crucible is a type of dish used in scientific labs, often to heat a substance. An alternate definition sometimes used is a test. The second definition is the one used by Arthur Miller in his play entitled "The Crucible."
The empty crucible is heated AND WEIGHED, so that you can drive off any moisture and/or other particles that might add to the weight of the empty crucible. You will eventually weigh the crucible again at the end of the experiment to determine the weight (mass) of some compound. Thus, it is important to have a correct "starting mass" of the crucible.
You can use a crucible and a pair of crucible tongs to melt a crystal over a Bunsen burner. The crucible provides a safe container for the crystal, while the tongs allow you to handle the crucible when it is hot.
