Yair Reiner wants to clean up and get a deal for FryWall, his splatter guard for stove top cooking, in Shark Tank episode 915. Reiner loves cooking and , like most home chefs, hates cleaning up afterwards. He got particularly annoyed while frying a duck breast. Once he cleaned up the splatter mess, he bought some silicone paste online and made the first prototype.
The product is a silicone cone that fits into a frying pan. It looks like a cone you’d put around a pet’s neck after an operation. The cone provides a barrier that keeps splatters inside the pan. Unlike a splatter screen, FryWall stays in place while allowing access throughout the cooking process. Reiner won the Today Show’s “Next Big Thing” back in April of 2017 and sold the product on QVC shortly thereafter.
The FryWall comes in four sizes” 10″, 11″, 12″ and 13″. Prices range from $22-$30. The silicone cones fit in fry pans and sauce pans and are completely heat resistant. Clean up is easy too as they’re dishwasher safe. Reiner likely wants a deal to get mass distribution.
Will a Shark want to clean up with this business?
