HALO 13'' Premium Splatter Screen for Frying Pan w/Super-Fine Mesh, Folding & Locking Handle - Brushed Stainless Steel Splatter Guard

I bought this to replace an old flimsy splatter shield that was worn out. This splatter shield is a huge improvement over any of the others that I have seen. It is sturdy and had metal reinforcing rods that also allow you to place it on a counter without creating a mess from any splattered oil. The handle folds into the unit which makes it very convenient for cleaning it in the dishwasher and for storage in the cabinet. It fits a 12 inch Lodge Cast Iron pan perfectly and also fit our 12 inch Copper Chef Wok perfectly. Because of the reinforcing bars, you can use it on smaller skillet's like a 10 inch. I can imagine this product easily lasting us 15-20 years based on the longevity of the flimsy one that we wore out. I am very pleased with this purchase. If you found my review and pics helpful in your decision making, please give me a vote. Thanks!

I've never had a splatter screen before, but now I regret not buying one sooner! This has become a cooking staple for me. It works great on all different sized pots and pans, and I am absolutely thrilled that it works on my large cast iron (which I suppose is a little over 12 inches). This splatter screen is the only thing I own that fits correctly on it, and I've got a white oven so it's critical in saving me major clean up. I was worried since the handle is also metal that it would get hot when I'm cooking, but even when I leave it on for a long time it stays cool enough to pick up. Very satisfied!

The concept of a "splatter screen" has been around for years, and not normally an item I would give much thought to. This screen certainly does the job (and better than I remember from the originals) essential blocking most splatters. It is quite sturdy, and the folding handle works nicely and stays cool during use. The product does have one major flaw, however. Even though it is advertised as 13", this does not mean it will work well for a 13" pan (or even a 12" pan).On an 12 3/8" pan (the manufacturer calls it 12" even), the slightest movement allows the screen to slip to one side, and fall partially into the pan (see the attached photograph). Our Circulon pan does have, admittedly, a smooth curved rim, making it easier for the cover to slip. We assumed, however, that a 13 inch screen would work fine for a 12" pan.This problem is not much of an issue for smaller pans, since it is not likely that the screen will move far enough to either side to slip into the pan, and we have found it to work well with a 10" pan.Since I cook mostly with a 12" pan, however, I am inclined to give this product a 3 star review (it is possible to get around the issue by using the screen upside down, and this does work, even though it is not intended to be used that way).I must say that the seller/manufacturer of this product has been extremely responsive, happy to receive my comments and suggestions, and very concerned with my satisfaction level. Based on the quality of my interaction with them (and the confidence that that inspires), more so than the product itself, I am bumping the rating to 4 stars!

I do a lot of searing in my cast iron frying pan and dutch oven and sometimes the hot oil splatter is pretty intense and gets dangerous. I've definitely been hit a few times with hot oil. I should have bought a splatter screen a lot sooner but was just managing with lids and oven mitts. SO glad I have a proper splatter screen so I can sear things without lids and I can approach my pan without fear. The folding handle is the best feature, because storage space is limited in my kitchen. It makes storing it a breeze. Great product!

Concept is great. Especially since the handle can fold over and save space. But boy does it burn! There are circles of burn marks, lots of smoke was coming from it being while over the pan and it even started smelling. Sending it back

Received this item today and immediately put it to work. Seems to work exactly as it's supposed to. Steam comes out, only a tiny amount of grease escapes. So for that I'm pretty happy.The handle and frame both appear well-built. The handle particularly seems to be made of a decent guage stainless steel. Only quality complaint comes from the very thin screen itself. It feels quite fragile. I get the impression it's only a matter of time until I accidentally put a utensil through it.Would buy again.***My Rating Criteria***Build Quality(47.5%) - 4.0 StarsEfficacy(47.5%) - 5.0 StarsPost-Sale Support(0.0%) - n/aPackaging/Presentation(5.0%) - 5.0 StarsWEIGHTED AVERAGE(100.0%) - 4.5 STARS

I used this 3x and last night was the 3rd and last time because it ignited over my iron skillet, with flames so high the ceiling above the cabinets have been stained. We were only cooking two 1/2lb burgers at the time and wanted to make for an easier clean up. On the contrary; not only did this not prevent splatter, it is a fire hazard.

QUICK SERVICE GOOD PRICE very heavy compared to my other one. I did not see confirmation that the screen itself is stainless steel. A better label would be appreciated. It does not hang flat due to the folding feature. I will pass this one along and use my old one.
