Did you know there was a country song called “Loving You is Like Frying Bacon Naked?” Well, if you didn’t know it before you know it now. I’m so glad to give you that type of important information.I hate frying food when it splatters everywhere. Not only does it burn like the dickens, it also gets all over every surface in the kitchen. Clean up is a pain. So, I purchased this little lovely dohickey from The Dollar Tree. It works fantastic for keeping splatters to a minimum. Any time I’m frying, I use it. You really need one. Trust me. Guess how much they cost? |
But what if you don’t have this little gem? I’ve found you can also use a metal colander for the same purpose! Make sure it’s metal though, because plastic can melt……or so I hear from OTHER PEOPLE. *Cough* The steam will be able to escape but the splatters will be minimized. If your colander has handles, then it might sit up on top of the skillet like mine. That will give your splatters a bit more of an escape route, but it still really cuts down on the mess – it’s WAY better than having nothing at all.And what I really want to know is, who fries bacon naked? |

My Grandma used one these to cover her food when she was frying!
However, I use a George Foreman Grill or a panini press… the top & bottom of the bacon is covered and the grease drains off – be sure to place a container where it can catch the drippings. 🙂

I bought one of those splatter guards from the DT today. I had another one and it wore out. I figured I could swing another buck…lol.
