Embodiment Construction

[0018] The present invention is a splatter guard, designated as 10 in the figures. As shown in FIG. 1, the guard 10 is designed for use directly on a lip L of cookware C, such as a pot, to catch most airborne splatters. The guard 10 is a vertically shield that extends up from the lip L of the cookware C. The guard 10 is preferably disposed on the lip L so a section of the lip L is left uncovered.

[0019] Referring now to FIG. 3, the guard 10 is a rectangular sheet having a top edge 12, a bottom edge 14 and two side edges 16. A horizontal crease 18 is defined near the bottom edge 14 with ties 20 being disposed on the crease 18 or elsewhere near the bottom edge 14 of the guard 10. The guard 10 possesses two ties 20, but may possess more than two ties, one tie or no ties. The ties 20 are used to wrap around handles H to secure the guard 10 in place on the cookware C once the guard 10 is positioned on the lip L.

[0020] The guard 10 may be made in any size and shape. For example, the guar...

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.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to splatter shields, and more specifically to shields that rest on outer edges of cookware without encumbering the opening of the cookware. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Frying or simmering foods on a stovetop can be a messy process even for an experienced cook. Many cooks have tried to contain splatters by placing lids over the opening of cookware. However, using lids may be impractical through out the entire cooking process since cooking involves turning or stirring food items. Also it may be impractical to use lids while cooking because the lid may tremble as steam escapes. Splatter shields have been developed to allow one to fry or simmer foods without a lid. Many of these shields completely obstruct the opening of the cookware requiring the cook to lift the shield in order to flip or stir the food item. Other shields rest on the stovetop forming a shelter around t...
