We analysed the Amazon.co.uk subcategory Splatter Screens and kept only products with at least 200 reviews and 4.3 stars — 107 cleared the bar — then ranked them by estimated monthly revenue. The top ten holds two quite different things: flat mesh discs that sit on the pan, and folding guards that stand on the hob beside it.
The revenue leader and by far the biggest seller here: three mesh screens in 9.8, 11.4 and 13 inch for £12.99, which is about £4.33 a screen.
Check the price on AmazonThe revenue leader and by far the biggest seller here: three mesh screens in 9.8, 11.4 and 13 inch for £12.99, which is about £4.33 a screen.
With 2,029 ratings the most reviewed entry in this comparison, and a two-pack that covers a large and a small pan; the price fell 24% over the observed period.
Joint lowest price here at £8.49, and a single 13 inch disc rather than a set — the size that covers a large frying pan.
Word-for-word the same listing text as rank 3, the same brand and the same £8.49 — but a separate ASIN carrying 1,020 ratings instead of 292.
Not a pan lid at all: a foldable guard 40 cm high that stands on the hob and shields the surrounding worktop, in silver at £23.49.
The same 40 cm folding guard as rank 5 in black and, at £23.99, the most expensive entry in this top ten — the colour costs 50p.
The shorter of the two heights Wuciray fields here: 30 cm rather than 40 cm, at £19.47.
A two-pack of ultra-fine mesh lids at £9.59, and it shares its 292 ratings with the single screen at rank 3 — the same brand pools them.
The fourth Wuciray guard in this ranking: 30 cm in black at £19.79, which is 32p more than the same height at rank 7.
The same three sizes and the same £12.99 as the number one, from a different brand — a fold-flat knob is the only difference the listing states.

The two formats here do different jobs. A mesh disc rests on the pan and lets steam out while holding fat back; a folding guard stands on the worktop and protects the wall and the hob surround. Four of these ten are the standing type, so read past the word screen before you buy.
A screen has to overlap the rim, not drop inside it. The single discs here are 13 inch (33 cm), which suits a large frying pan; the multi packs add 10 and 11.4 inch for milk pans and small skillets. Measure across the top edge of the pan, not the base.
Mesh is finer and traps more of the spatter; a perforated sheet is stiffer and quicker to scrub. Both appear here under the same product name — the Apidgrowth listings state perforated, the Snowyee and set listings state mesh — and the wording is the only way to tell them apart.
A fixed handle keeps your hand away from the pan but makes the screen awkward in a drawer. One entry here specifically names a fold-flat knob, which is the difference between hanging it on a hook and stacking it flat.
Half of this top ten is a multi pack. £12.99 for three sizes is a different proposition from £8.49 for one 13 inch screen, and it only pays if you genuinely cook in three pan sizes — otherwise you are storing two discs you never reach for.
Fat sets in the mesh, and a screen that is a chore to clean is a screen you stop using. Stainless steel is the only material in this ranking, so what actually varies is how fine the holes are: the finer the mesh, the more it catches and the longer it takes to get clean again.
A splatter screen is a mesh disc that rests on the pan itself; a splash guard is a folding panel that stands on the hob next to it. The first keeps fat in the pan while steam escapes, the second protects the worktop and the wall behind. Amazon files both in this subcategory, and four of the ten entries here are the standing type.
Ranks 3 and 4 carry identical listing text, the same brand and the same £8.49 price, but they are separate ASINs with 292 and 1,020 ratings. Amazon publishes them as two products, so that is how we show them — merging them would hide the fact that the review counts differ.
A 13 inch (33 cm) screen covers a standard large frying pan, and it is the only size sold on its own in this list. If you fry in a small pan as often as a large one, the three-piece sets at £12.99 cover 9.8, 11.4 and 13 inch for roughly the price of one and a half single screens.
The products are ordered by estimated monthly revenue per ASIN, not by star rating and not by bestseller rank. Only products with at least 200 reviews and an average of 4.3 stars were included; 107 products in this subcategory cleared that filter. Revenue is what shows which screen people actually buy in volume.
The score is not our own hands-on test. It is calculated transparently from public Amazon data: 75% from the average star rating and 25% from the number of reviews, weighted logarithmically. The ranking order itself comes from estimated monthly revenue per ASIN. Prices, ratings and review counts were retrieved from Amazon.co.uk on 22 July 2026 and can change at any time.
