HexClad Grease Splatter Screen for 10 and 12 in Pans - Folding

In this review of the HexClad Grease Splatter Screen, the bottom line is simple: it is for home cooks who want to keep oil and grease off counters while preserving crisp textures. The reviewer found the folding design and heat-safe silicone kept splatter contained without trapping steam, so fried chicken and seared steaks stayed crisp. Cleanup is much easier because the screen is dishwasher-safe and the stainless steel frame feels sturdy. If you often shallow-fry, pan-fry, or sear and hate post-cook cleanup, this splatter screen is worth considering.

Key Features

• Folding design: Folds flat for compact storage and unlocks to cover pans securely, saving cabinet space when not in use.
• Heat-safe silicone: Silicone surface resists temperatures up to 480F, allowing use during high-heat searing without melting or warping.
• Stainless steel frame: The rigid frame keeps the screen flat over the pan and feels durable for everyday use around oil and splatter.
• Fits multiple pan sizes: Designed to fit pans up to 12.5 in wide, including HexClad 10 in and 12 in models, plus woks and deep saute pans.
• Stay-cool locking handle: The silicone handle and stainless locking hinge make it easy to place and lock the screen while cooking without getting hot to the touch.
• Dishwasher-safe: Can be placed in the dishwasher for easy cleanup, which reduces the need for scrubbing after greasy cooking tasks.

Who It's For

This splatter screen is best for home cooks who frequently pan-fry bacon, shallow-fry cutlets, or sear meats and want to avoid grease on the stovetop and counters. It suits owners of HexClad 10 in and 12 in pans who want an accessory that matches those sizes and the durability of their cookware.

It is less suited to someone who needs a strainer or lid replacement, since it is specifically designed to block splatter while allowing steam to escape. People who rarely fry or who prefer a full lid for moisture retention should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effectively keeps oil and grease in the pan, reducing cleanups around the stove.
• High heat tolerance to 480F makes it reliable for searing and high-temperature cooking.
• Folds flat and locks, so storage is compact and it stays secure on the pan while in use.
• Dishwasher-safe construction makes cleaning quick and easy.

Cons

• Not intended as a strainer or a replacement for a sealed lid, so it will not trap moisture or serve as a full cover.
• Maximum fit is 12.5 in, so it will not cover larger skillets or griddles.
