Folding spatter shield

A folding splatter shield comprising:

• a handle;
• a middle panel mechanically coupled with the handle along a lateral edge of the middle panel, the middle panel including:
• a middle panel mesh element,
• a middle panel upper frame element defining a middle panel shape, and
• a middle panel lower frame element defining the middle panel shape, wherein
• the middle panel mesh element is captured by the middle panel upper frame element and the middle panel lower frame element along a middle panel mesh element edge;
• a first folding panel pivotally coupled with the middle panel along a first longitudinal edge of the middle panel, the first folding panel including:
• a first folding panel mesh element,
• a first folding panel upper frame element defining a first folding panel shape, and
• a first folding panel lower frame element defining the first folding panel shape, wherein
• the first folding panel mesh element is captured by the first folding panel upper frame element and the first folding panel lower frame element along a first folding panel mesh element edge, and wherein
• the first folding panel lower frame is formed to overlap the middle panel upper frame in an open position;
• and
• a second folding panel pivotally coupled with the middle panel along a second longitudinal edge of the middle panel, the second folding panel including:
• a second folding panel mesh element,
• a second folding panel upper frame element defining a second folding panel shape, and
• a second folding panel lower frame element defining the second folding panel shape, wherein
• the second folding panel mesh element is captured by the second folding panel upper frame element and the second folding panel lower frame element along a second folding panel mesh element edge, and wherein
• the second folding panel lower frame is formed to overlap the middle panel upper frame in the open position.
