An oil bath is a type of heated bath used in a laboratory, most commonly used to heat up chemical reactions. It's essentially a container of oil that is heated by a hot plate or a Bunsen burner.
These baths are commonly used to heat reaction mixtures more evenly than a hot plate alone, as the entire outside of the reaction flask is heated. Generally, silicone oil is used in modern oil baths, although mineral oil, cottonseed oil and phosphoric acid have been used previously.
Therefore, the diodes in an experiment are dipped in mineral oil baths so that it gets heated up evenly. However, it should be taken care as the oil boils up to 150 °C - 250 °C and could be dangerous if spilt over.
