An apparatus, for use with a metallurgical vessel for the continuous casting of molten metal through a discharge opening thereof, prevents solidification of the first charge of molten metal in the discharge opening. A first overflow pipe is mounted above the discharge opening, and a second overflow pipe is mounted about the first overflow pipe and defines therewith an annular recess. Within the recess is provided a material capable of effecting the flow characteristics of the first portion of the molten material to be discharged.
