splatter guard

[picturepost]

any ideas on how to clean a splatter guard used over a frying pan many times and I soaked it in boiling water with fairy liquid no joy

Spray on Oven cleaner should work as long as the guard is not made of Aluminium.
You need to coat it well, leave for several hours or overnight then clean off and rinse well. If it is still not clean then do the same again. Do NOT ever use oven cleaner on anything made of Aluminium , it will corrode or even dissolve it.

Throw it away and get another one. They are not that expensive.

What's it made from? Could you maybe use one of those wire scourer things?

If it's a mesh one, do as tilly says and dump it. Get one of the solid metal ones with holes pierced in it, like this...

They're very easy to clean by comparison with the mesh ones

I was going to buy a new one I put in it boiling water with vanish powder and it has cleaned it the grease floated off magic thanks all anyway

I sometimes cover mine with some foil and place it foil side down over the pan and just keep removing the splatterguard every so often to check frying. Also for if I want to leave something in the pan to keep warm on a low heat. Its cheap enough to replace after each session ( well the one I buy is)
