How to Prevent and Clean Stovetop Splatter Like a Pro 🍳

Cooking is a messy business especially when frying, sautéing, smashing or simmering. Splatter on the stovetop isn’t just unsightly—it is also pretty tough to clean if left for too long. But fret not, you home cook you, with the right strategies, you can minimize splatter and make cleanup a breeze.

Stovetop Splatter Prevention

Use a Splatter Screen One of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent oil and sauce splatter is by using a splatter screen. These fine mesh covers sit over your pan, allowing steam to escape while keeping grease and liquids contained. We did come across this pretty cool technique on the ‘gram. Have you ever tried this?

Choose the Right Cookware Deep, high-sided pans and pots help keep splatter in. A shallow frying pan will let oil and sauce jump out, while a deeper pan gives you better control.

Adjust the Cooking Temperature High heat often causes excess splattering, especially with oil. Lowering the temperature slightly reduces the risk of violent bubbling and popping while still allowing your food to cook thoroughly.

Add Ingredients Slowly Introducing food too quickly into hot oil or sauce can cause sudden splattering. Instead, be patient and add ingredients gradually to help control any bubbling reactions.

Keep Moisture to a Minimum Water and oil don’t mix. It’s science. And excess moisture on food (like frozen or wet items) can cause sudden bursts of splatter. Pat ingredients dry before adding them to the pan.

Use a Lid (When Possible) For dishes that require simmering or slow cooking, a partially covered lid helps contain splatter while still allowing steam to escape. Just be sure to leave enough space to prevent boiling over.
