Dish

The Dish is the brown ceramic "plate" on the central surface of the Alchemy Bench. It is used for holding one or more ingredients at once, and these ingredients can be raw, ground, or a mixture thereof. Contents of the Dish can be placed in either the Mortar or the Cauldron. However in many cases, use of the Dish can me completely ignored, as generally most ingredients can be added directly to the Mortar or the Cauldron. The Dish can also be used to hold Herbs that have been accidentally selected or ground that the player is not intending to use, in order to get them out of the way without the need of resetting the entire potion.
