OXO Good Grips Splatter Screen with Folding Handle

A passionate home cook that has been honing her cooking skills for the last 25 years writes this review.My favorite cookbooks are "The Professional Chef" by the Culinary Institute and "Culinary Artistry".I am also a collector of kitchen gadgets.When a new gadget comes out, I frequently purchase it to see if it is an improvement to what was previously available.

Given that I focus on Italian food, we have more than our share of fried food.Whenever you are making cannoli, fritto misto or spingi the grease is splattering everywhere. There is nothing I hate more than cleaning the kitchen after frying something.

This splatter screen has very small holes on a perforated surface.The holes allow steam to escape and contain most, but not all, of the splattering grease.They also keep you from looking into the pan while the food is frying.Given that you have to lift the screen to see inside the pan, there is a little grease to clean up after using this screen.The clean up is easier than with a traditional splatter screen.

I also like that the handle folds up on this screen making it easier to store.Overall, I would recommend this product.

You have to be careful when you lift it off the pan that you keep it horizontal because if you raise it to a vertical position, it will double back and you will risk getting hot grease, or hot water/steam on you.

As far as the amount of splatter control, I don't find that it is a lot better than normal splatter screens.I have to lay a paper towel over the top while frying as there still is too much splatter.

I find that the fitting on top of pans is about somewhat better than a regular splatter screen, but not as good as I was expecting.

I bought a new dishwasher that the racks are adjustable, but it still will only fit in one place in my dishwasher or it will flop around.

For a kitchen gadget that you normally categorize as a "can do without" item, I have found this a very useful kitchen tool. I had used the mesh type before and found they didn't last and were a pain to clean. This is a quality item. It is easy to clean and does it's job very well.

I've purchased this item about 3 months ago, and I love it. When I first got it in I was a bit suprised and upset. Because the screen was metal and not mesh. But the first time I used this and had to clean it. I realized that the metal was much better then the mesh. Its so much easier to clean then mesh. You don't have to worry about little pieces of things getting stuck in the holes and you pick at the mesh to get it out. An then the mesh is messed up because you picked at it and then the mesh becomes misshaped. All in all this is a really good product. I like it so much, I buying a few for Christmas presents for family.

Wow, this is a vast improvement over the ordinary splatter screens you can get anywhere. First of all, it's not made of the standard screening like in window screens. It's made of a sheet of perforated stainless steel like a perforated pizza pan but with smaller holes. Sooo much easier to clean and you don't have to be careful not to poke a hole in it or dent it when cleaning and storing it. It also has 3 circular "ribs" in it that allow it to sit securely on different size skillets and pans. No more slipping off the skillet. And the sturdy, folding handle is so clever. You can really wash this in the dishwasher because it's so sturdy and with the handle folded down, it fits!!! In my opinion, this is definitely worth the extra money and you probably won't ever have to replace it.
