4.0 out of 5 stars Keeps grease in the pan better than typical screens, June 12, 2006

By 

Amalfi Coast Girl (Mid-Atlantic, USA) - See all my reviews

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beware, the handle will double back on you, August 8, 2007

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.
