A crystallizing dish is a beaker with a very large diameter and short height. Its large surface allows for the solution to evaporate faster, which is necessary when recrystallizing compounds, hence its name.
While similar to evaporating dishes, the crystallizing dish is not generally used to completely evaporate the solution.
