The grid, which is used as a lid for the pan, avoids contamination of the stove or burns. Various manufacturers offer to use products made from aluminum or another metal. Also found items made of silicone.
How to keep a clean surface in the kitchen?
No matter how hard you try, there are fatty drops on the stove, countertop and walls after frying in the pan. If they are not washed in time, they dry up and it becomes much more difficult to remove them afterwards. Such sprays are also dangerous, as they can get onto the open area of the skin, resulting in burns.
To avoid the problems listed above, manufacturers have invented a special protective mesh. With this device you can easily cook dishes with a crispy crust. The mesh allows steam to flow without difficulty, retaining fat. In this case, the dish in the pan is really fried, and not stewed.
Such grids can be metallic and silicone. They do not create difficulties in leaving. But after finished cooking, while the fat has not yet dried out, it is necessary to immediately wash it using any dishwashing detergent. You can also wash the mesh in the dishwasher.
Features of work
Mesh protection against fat, made of aluminum wire, suitable for use in pans with different volume. To make it convenient to use the net, it is equipped with a plastic handle that does not heat up when exposed to high temperatures. The surface of the mesh is very durable, resists deformation.
Silicone cover works the same way as usual. It is enough to just cover the pan or pan. It has the following characteristics.
- Flexibility and ductility - since it is made of silicone, such a cover can not only be bent in any direction, but also folded in half. These actions will not harm its structure.
- Strength. Do not worry about the shape of the cover, if it accidentally slipped out of hand. The silicone cover is incredibly durable.
- Little weight. Such a lid is much more convenient for storage than its counterparts from other materials.
- Security. Silicone food does not harm human health, and does not have an unpleasant smell. Can be used not only for cooking, but also for storing food in the refrigerator.
- Resistance to temperatures. Silicone does not melt under the influence of high temperatures, so this cover can be used for cooking in the microwave.
- Non-stick properties. Food does not stick to the silicone surface and does not burn anything. Even frozen drops can be easily removed.
- Universal size, which allows the use of silicone cover for any kitchen utensils.
This cover has two convenient "ears", which make it easy to install the "device" and, if necessary, remove. For them, you can hang the lid on the hook so that it is always at hand and dry after washing.
So that the silicone does not bend, there are small stiffeners inside.
There is also such a device, which is called "security sieve." It is made of silicone, round shape, with small holes over the entire surface. For ease of use has a small handle. For all other criteria, similar to the silicone mesh.
Screen for frying in the pan
This device looks like a regular cover. The same round shape, the handle in the middle, but there are models with a side handle.The surface is not dense, and mesh.
The choice of the classic version or with a side handle depends on individual preferences.Since both options perform their functions in the same way. The cover grid is made of metal. Basically it has a standard size - 30 cm, which is suitable for most pans. But there are models with other diameters. It should be used in the same way as a regular lid.
Of course, such a lid does not protect in those moments when the product will need to be turned over, but the total amount of fat on the kitchen working surface will be several times less. To protect yourself and the objects in the kitchen while mixing or turning the prepared product, you can use the grid as a kind of shield, hiding from it from splashes.
The lid from greasy splashes makes the presence of an apron completely unnecessary and saves you from the need to wash the table top, kettle and other appliances that are close to the stove.
There are also universal fixtures. For example, the cover "Nevykipayka." Such a device has a colorful design, has a round and somewhat cup-shaped form.
On the inner surface of the cover there is a pattern of relief strips. In the center - a removable nozzle in the shape of a flower. If this nozzle is removed, then it becomes obvious that there is a hole from which steam and foam come out during cooking. Thanks to the cup shape, water does not flow out.
