  • Patent number: 5542347
    Abstract: Arcuate shield segments form a collar around the perimeter of a frying pan cooking surface while suspended within the pan side walls for containing splattering grease within the fry pan. Tabs extending from lower edge portions of the shield segments permit attachment to pans having various size openings. Multiple shield segments are removably attached to each other and aligned to surround the pan cooking surface. The segments are removably attached such that a handle removes all segments simultaneously or a single segment when access through the shield wall is desired. Each segment is dimensioned for convenience in cleaning and storage of the multiple segments.
