Summary: 4 Stars
I have quite a few pieces of OXO hardware in my kitchen, and am always impressed by the value proposition they bring with them. While not as high end as some products, they are generally very well designed and manufactured, and are extremely durable. This Good Grips splatter screen is no exception to the rule: it is an excellent product for the money.
The screen is not a traditional mesh screen, rather, it's a solid piece of stainless steel with perforations in it to allow steam to escape. The screen fits any pan up to thirteen inches in diameter, and has several concentric rings which helps it sit properly atop most frying pans.
The screen, while very good, is not perfect. The handle is a design compromise that I would have wished to be better engineered. It folds for easy storage, which is a great feature, but doesn't positively lock in place. Although by design it shouldn't ever fold while in use, I have found that inattention can occasionally result in it starting to fold unexpectedly. It contains grease spatter very well, but the price paid for the perforated stainless is that you can't observe the food cooking in the pan during use without lifting the lid. Again, this is a minor consideration, but I think these two things in combination are worthy of a one star penalty.
I have used this screen very frequently, and it's my favorite splatter screen of any sort that I have ever used. It's durable, well made, easy to store and ingeniously designed: I recommend it to cooks everywhere.
