Oven splatter guard

An oven splatter guard comprising:

• a flexible screen configured to reduce splatter in a working oven wherein the flexible screen is not self-supporting;
• and
• a collapsible support means for the flexible screen comprising two bendable poles which each can be bent into various shapes and have the property of remaining, without application of external force, in any one of the various shapes into which they are bent until they are bent into another one of the various shapes by application of external force,
• wherein bending the two bendable poles into the various shapes provides a continuous set of stable, erected configurations of the oven splatter guard when the two bendable poles are coupled to the flexible screen, and
• wherein the two bendable poles are decouplable from the flexible screen to provide a collapsed configuration of the oven splatter guard.
