Deflagrating Spoon with Lid

**Deflagrating Spoon with Lid – Description**

A deflagrating spoon with lid is a specialized laboratory tool used for heating small quantities of substances, especially in combustion or decomposition experiments.

### 🔧 Features:

- **Spoon Head**: Made of heat-resistant metal (typically stainless steel or nickel), shaped like a shallow bowl to hold solid samples.

- **Handle**: Long metal rod attached to the spoon, allowing safe handling over a flame or inside a combustion tube.

- **Lid**: A snug-fitting metal cover that can be placed over the spoon to control exposure to air or prevent splatter during heating.

- **Size**: Spoon diameter usually ranges from 2–3 cm; handle length around 20–30 cm for safe distance from heat source.

### 🧪 Uses:

- Heating chemicals to observe combustion or thermal decomposition

- Introducing substances into a flame for flame tests

- Controlling oxidation reactions by limiting air exposure with the lid

Durable, easy to clean, and essential for controlled high-temperature reactions in chemistry labs.
