Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Splatter Screen with Folding Handle
Customer Review: Doesn't contain grease well enough
Summary: 2 Stars
I've bought dozens of Oxo Good Grips products before and this splatter screen is the only one that has disappointed me. It's constructed very well and has a solid feel (except for the handle which could use a better locking mechanism).
The problem with this product is the splatter screen itself. Instead of being a fine mesh formed by wires like other screens, this screen is essentially a piece of perforated sheet metal. This means the holes are considerably larger than a mesh-style screen, which unfortunately results in a lot more grease getting through it unabated. Now I don't expect any splatter shield to catch 100% of grease, but after witnessing the amount of grease flying out the top of this after searing a piece of chicken, this screen's performance is simply unacceptable.
Looks like I'll be finding a more traditional, mesh-style splatter screen to avoid greasy stoves and floors.
Customer Review: Overkill.
Summary: 2 Stars
I wanted a splatter screen without a handle sticking out the side so I could store it in a convenient place. I looked and I could only find this one and a tefal type. I purchased this one and the main thing I noticed is this thing is big and bulky overkill design I guess their designers don't know of the KISS design method (Keep it Simple Stupid). Another bad thing is that it is made with perferated metal instead of a screen which makes it impossible to see your food which one's with stainless steel screens you can see what's going on. I went to IKEA after I used this and found one that is what I was looking for in the first place. One with a stainless steel mesh, can fit any size pan and a small lift up handle in the middle of the splatter screen and it was only $3. Compared to the IKEA splatter screen the OXO looks clumsy, over designed, heavy, overpriced and pointless.Customer Review: Don't waste your money!! This is the worst splatter screen I have ever purchased!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the worst splatter screen I have ever purchased!!! The handle flops over does not lock into position. The screen does not control the grease splatter any better than my old cheep splatter guard. It is impossible to drain grease from the frying pan with the splatter guard in place the foods either just fall out or the handle wont stay in position so you have to try to hold both ends of the splatter guard. The end result, I either get burned or scalded when I try to use this product. This is a very poor design. Don't waste your money.
