Splatter guard

Abstract

The splatter guard is a shield used directly on a lip of a cookware. The guard is a rectangular sheet of aluminum having a top edge, a bottom edge and two side edges. Strips of aluminum are disposed at the bottom edge of the guard to tie the guard to handles on cookware. A crease is disposed horizontally across the sheet being a distance from the bottom edge. The crease is the portion of the guard that contacts the cookware. Specifically the crease on the guard is manipulated to fit the lip of the cookware. By resting on the lip, the guard does not encumber the opening of the cookware. The guard leaves a portion of the lip uncovered to provide an entryway to food items disposed within the cookware.
