 By far the best splatter screen I've seen Jan 22, 2006
By Christopher Bowers
"cbamity"
This thing is exactly what I was looking for. Sturdy and durable (doesnt bend) with an ultra fine mesh screen. I think this is the 13 inch size (use for 12 inch skillets). It may seem that it is easy to find a splatter screen, but most of the ones out there are crap so people end up breaking them or not using them. I was looking for a good one for months, and this is the best out of the dozen or so that I looked at (including the ridiculous $50 All Clad model). Although not absolutely necessary for me, I like the added feet so that you can set this down without making a mess.

Progressive's Deluxe Splatter Screen Really Works! Oct 07, 2005
By K. Thomas
"Blades-R-Us"
Progressive International Deluxe Splatter Screen - A pleasant surprise, it does what it was suppose to and does it well! The additional bracing across the screen area helps keep the screen not only flat on the cooking pan but the additional weight holds it there, unlike the competitions lighter weight models where the screen tends to tip towards the handle. The three little feet let you set in on the counter when removed and while they don't stop it from dripping a little, it's a lot less than putting the competitions screen down. It cleans up easily and is dishwasher safe! A "Thumbs Up" winner at a great price! Oh yes, it really does stop the grease and oil splatter!

By far the nicest splatter screen we have used May 16, 2007
By T. Triche
I did not originally intend to purchase this screen. Rather, I fancied a dome-shaped model which I saw in a store, twice as expensive as this one, until I read a Cook's Illustrated review which slammed the domed screen as working 'equally poorly on both small and large pans' (!). Their recommendation was an AMCO model with fine mesh, similar to this one but a bit flimsier, without the little feet, and a bit more expensive. They didn't test this model, but I wish they had, as it's the best I've seen.
This screen improves upon others with its fine mesh (more effective at catching spat oil), its heavier-gauge frame, and its little feet that keep the screen off the counter top, reinforce the screen's mesh, and serve as a trivet. Not just for light duty, either -- my wife and I made a pork-loin fricassee in our big copper saute pan, which weighs about 9 pounds empty, and then plopped it down on top of the screen-as-trivet for table service. Impressively sturdy for a nine-dollar item!
The only irritation was that the half-inch feet prevented me from storing the screen between our microwave and the shelf above it, as we'd previously done with the drugstore model. (Which melted, hence this fine replacement) The solution became obvious after dinner -- store it under the heavy pan.
If you need a good splatter screen, buy this one. All the others we saw have some detail or other that falls short. This one is cheap, elegant, sturdy, and big enough for a 12.5" (32cm) frying pan. Save yourself the trouble of fooling around with the lesser models, I've seen none that can stack up, let alone at the price point which Amazon is offering this one.

Excellent Jan 05, 2007
By JMK

This biggist advantage of this product is the very small holes in the screen. I have used other screens but they do not stop splatters nearly as well. I use mine almost every week and it has performed well for almost a year. I hand wash only. Also, the screen has changed colors from use but that has not affected its performance.

Great Quality Oct 02, 2006
By Julie A. Felton
"tekiechick"
I was a little hesitant to spend over $10 for a splatter screen as most of them really aren't worth more than a few bucks. However, I am VERY glad that I spent the extra money on this one.
The quality of this item is top notch. It's much more sturdy than any others that I've seen. I've been using this splatter screen for a few months now and still love it. The feet on the bottom are very helpful in controlling messes. The handle is terrific (some screens only have either a D ring on the top or a thin handle) and seems to stay cool while in use.
This even got raves from my mother.
