Splatter screen for frying... (http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/063.gif)

They got it on Ebay for $17 for the people who's not on prime.

And it's not 100% splatter proof. They are cheap, try them out. I don't have one now and I don't really miss it. Just reduces splatter a bit.

Did you get the good one?   it says the one with finer mesh reduces m0re splatter.

I honestly thought this thread was going to be about a newly developed Russian military grade blender that you found in the dark recesses of the internet and you were so excited you had to immediately inform everyone.

Alas, you have only brought me a ****ing splatter screen for a pan that should already have a lid.

Good day sir!

I'm guessing it was just decent. Double mesh, can't remember how tight the weave was.

Oh ho... but you see,  normal pan lids capture MOISTURE,  which reduces the Crispiness of any fried content..   including BACON.....


Nothing worse than soggy bacon.. (http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/d582d79f.gif)

My dad introduced me to these. His diet consisted primarily of bacon, cheese, coffee and scotch whiskey. He was a doctor. He died of a massive heart attack.

He called these things "eye savers". I have them in several sizes.

My bacon has plenty of fat on its own. I'll try and get pictures next time I cook it. :D

Some actually save what cooks off the bacon to use as a grease later with other things.

I also place aluminum foil on my pan so my pan isn't affected.

Stove is fine..

The key is temperature control..

With the oven, the advantage is you can make HUGE batches.. and the temperature is controlled by an internal thermometer.


You can use an infrared thermometer on your pan and get the same result..

My problem with splatter guards is that they rust like nobody's business! Ohhh, they SAY they're stainless steel, but they rust anyway.

So beware unless you spend more than $50 on one, cause it will rust badly.

According to the reviews,  the amco one on amazon doesn't rust like the others..

Fingers crossed..

Absolutely!!

Pro tip:
Get a half sheet pan and matching rack, like this (http://www.amazon.com/Checkered-Chef-Stainless-Cooling-Baking/dp/B00WS3OCWE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1437763285&sr=8-1&keywords=sheet+pan+and%5C+rack). Baking on the rack will make it crispy. Be more attentive because the tipping point (when it goes from under done to over done) has a narrow time zone when you use the rack.

I made bacon in the oven a few times,  problem was, I couldn't eat so much bacon, and the rest get cold, and they're not as good in the afternoon/night..


So I've always stuck with panfry from then on.
