Is a grease splatter screen worth it if I mostly air-fry now?
I’ve switched to air-frying for most things but still pan-fry eggs, bacon and the occasional steak. Wondering if a grease splatter screen is still useful or overkill when I only fry occasionally.

Even if you fry only a few times a week it’s worth having one on hand – those occasional sessions are exactly when the mess feels worst because you’re not used to it anymore. I air-fry 80% of the time but still pull out the screen for eggs, bacon or anything with decent oil. It makes those meals so much less stressful – no big cleanup afterward. Mine is stainless, lightweight but durable, and stores easily hanging on a hook. The mesh is fine enough to stop most grease but doesn’t trap moisture like a lid would. This one has been perfect for infrequent but messy frying – grease splatter screen . Small investment for cleaner counters.
