The problem is that most of the heat transfer in an oven is radiant, so a transparent liquid in a transparent dish is going to get very little heat transfer.

The emergency treatment of polycythemia (e.g., in hyperviscosity or thrombosis) is by venesection, the removal of blood from the circulation. Depending on the underlying cause, venesection may also be used on a regular basis to reduce the red blood cell count.
Polycythemia vera usually doesnât cause any signs or symptoms in its early stages, but after progressing it may produce headache, shortness of breath, bleeding, dizziness, itchiness, and an enlarged spleen. The disease can also increase the likelihood of developing blood clots and stroke.
