what business is it of yours

>>11382955
Have you tried using hot water, soap, and a brush?
Protip; wipe them with your kitchen cloth before setting them to dry to get most of the water out.

>>11382955
Why not just use a universal lid?

>>11382960
I love you, brother

>>11382965
I have lids, retard. Not everything is supposed to be covered.

>>11382955
You should never need a splatter screen. If your food is splattering that bad it is a sign that you are doing something wrong, most likely putting wet ingredients into a hot pan.

Fix the root cause, don't try to bandaid the issue with a screen.

>>11382965
Lids trap steam. For some kinds of cooking that's fine. For most things you would be doing in a frying pan or saute pan that's the last thing you want to do:
>>let's take this high-heat cooking method which is supposed to drive moisture out of the food and cuck it by putting a lid on top that concentrates moisture!

>>11382969
Just uncover it every now and then to simulate the semi-open effect of mesh.

>>11382955
>impossible to clean
You spray some degreaser onto it and put it in the dishwasher. Wow, so hard.

>>11382986
You sound like a fun guy. Wanna hang out sometime?

>>11382985
>a sign that you are doing something wrong
Pretty sure I'm not cooking my bacon wrong, or browning my ground beef wrong.

>>11382995
>Pretty sure I'm not cooking my bacon wrong
It's fairly likely that you are buying fake bacon. Most bacon is injected with flavored water instead of being properly dry-cured. The water injected stuff splatters. The dry cured does not.

>>browning my ground beef
That shouldn't splatter. It sounds like you might be overcrowding the pan. Do you see any liquid water in the pan while you brown your beef?

Also: Frozen meat splatters due to drip loss. Don't freeze the meat and it won't exude anywhere near as much water as it cooks.

>>11382985

>>11382955
>These fuckers are impossible to clean
Hot soapy water and a cloth works for me every time.
If you're so bad at cleaning dishes, consider investing in a dishwasher.

>>11382955
A suitable sized pot and the right temperature control.

>>11383005
>if your food splatters, you're cooking wrong!
>obviously this means never store your meat long term like a normal human being

Wow get fucked

stay mad lol

>>11383152
I saw this in a google search. Gay as fuck.

>>11382955
The silicone ones are nicer, less holes plus nonstick makes them easy to clean and still effective

>>11383180
What's wrong with it?

Use the burner

>>11383219
Its gay as fuck

>>11383249
How?

>>11382985

How greasy is your house?

>>11382955
I just throw a patch of tin foil or baking parchment on top.

>>11383308
Not that anon but they are right. Not using a screen does not make your house greasy in the slightest if you have even the slightest of inclinations about what you are doing.

use a lid but don't cover the pan fully. leave 1/4 or so open. steam can escape easily.

>>11383021
>he can't just properly thaw and drain it like a normal human being instead of plopping frozen meat onto hot oil
You deserve the splatter, faggot.

>>11383152
>https://frywall.com/

>>11383308
It's not greasy at all. I don't buy cheap meat that splatters. I dry foods before putting them into a hot pan. And I wash my kitchen regularly.

You?

>>11382995
There's no reason for your ground beef to be splattering.

>>11383526
How else am I supposed to get a nice brown crust?
Enjoy your shitty, limp, gray "taco meat"

>>11382985
you can move the lid aside just a little for the steam to go out you retard unitasker

>>11382955
Grow a pair and stop being a pussy. Hows that for a good solution?

>>11382955
Here's an idea instead of washing a retard screen why not try cooking things at medium heat instead of high and then just wiping the stove top?

Actually NVM you probably shouldn't be using the stove when mommies not home

>>11383731
I cook ground beef every week in an open pan and get a brown crust without any splattering. You're either buying shit-tier meat or you're overcrowding your pan.

>>11383821
The point is that you don't need the lid or the splatter screen at all, unless you're doing something wrong in the first place. I'm advocating that you stop fucking up, that way you don't need a lid or a screen.

>>11383918
sometimes you fuck up nontheless, a lid half on gives no concern on the correct cooking and saves the kitchen
dont be a stubborn retard, a bubble or two of dirt happen to go out of the pan

>>11383944
>sometimes you fuck up nontheless, a lid half on gives no concern on the correct cooking and saves the kitchen

Sure, that's fine. But we weren't talking about how to salvage fuckups. We were talking about standard cooking procedure.

>>a bubble or two of dirt happen to go out of the pan
I don't have a problem with that either.

My point is simply that if you do things properly you rarely, if ever, need a screen or a lid for a frying or saute pan. OP and others seem to need them frequently.

>>11383959
they are beyond saving, but telling them to improve is just as asking a monkey to stop eating louses from his brother, it just won't happen
gotta give them pre chewed methods that even a child could apply, because sure as fuck their pans won't stop exploding grease everywhere

>>11383873
stop being mean

What do you guys do to not make a mess when simmering tomato based sauces? I was looking into getting one of these screens but that'd be my only use for them

>>11384039
tomato sauces simmer with lid on too, steam just escapes little by little
the slower it goes the better it is

>>11382955
I use a small mesh one and it works fine. I get lots of soap suds and spread it across the entire surface and it cleans just fine
>>11382985
>You should never need a splatter screen.
>he's never cooked with passata or anything involving high amounts of fat
Talking out your ass is fun, right?

>>11383959
>My point is simply that if you do things properly you rarely, if ever, need a screen or a lid for a frying
This simply isn't true. When I pan fry chicken in an iron skillet on medium low heat in 1/4" of oil, fine droplets spatter out all around the skillet onto the stove top. Mind you, this is minimally processed (not brined), air chilled, fresh chicken that I dry thoroughly before applying a coating of flour (recipe from a whitetrash hillbilly grandmother). Even browning meat for braise in a deep sided dutch oven it happens.

I agree screens or partial lidding is not the answer, but neither is saying grease spatter doesn't happen if you use proper technique.

>>11382955
I just cleaned the grease trap on my microwave vent (looks similar to a splatter screen) with some TSP- Triple Super Phosphate in warm water. No scrubbing, just let sit for two minutes and rinse. It went from filthy to sparkling clean with zero effort.

>>11383005
Unpopular but redpilled. As I got better at cooking there's been less splatter.

>>11383005
>what is fat rendering
Water doesn't splatter. Water BOILS.
Fucking retard.
Fuck this board.

>>11384069
Don't bother arguing, that Anon lives at 10x gravity.

>>11382955
Wait thats what that is? I thought it was for cake dusting. Idk why i have one

>>11383152
Thats fucking gay as fuck in the sense of sticking your dick in the ass of another dude like where he shits from thats where you put your wiener type of gay you fuxking faggot

>>11383354
Correct answer

>>11384180
And water boiling IN grease is what causes the grease to splatter.

Congratulations on calling other people retarded when you don't understand the very basics of kitchen issues.

>>11382985
>someone posts the correct answer within half a dozen replies
>everyone piles on and calls them wrong
Never change /ck/.

Seriously though, think about it. You don't see professional kitchens using spatter guards, and they don't have oil spraying all over the place.

>>11382990
Grease ruins dishwashers, son.

>>11384345
>You don't see professional kitchens using spatter guards
Yeah, they have dishbitches to clean their stovetops, they couldn't give 2 shits about trashing it.

>>11384345
They don't care. They cook food even hotter.

>>11384487
>>11384483
Have you ever actually been in a working restaurant kitchen?

>>11384487
>>Even hotter
Temperature isn't the problem you fool.
The problem is getting moisture where it doesn't belong. Add water to hot fat in a pan and the water flash boils, causing the splatter. If you keep the water out then there's nothing to cause splattering in the first place.

When the fuck do you need a splatter screen anyway.
