When locked together, the two pieces form a frusto-conical splash shield. Integrally formed with the splash shield is a pouring trough. A pair of concentric annular ribs are secured to the frusto-conical splash shield whereby the assembled splash shield may rest on the top edge of a bowl and may accommodate various sizes of mixing bowls. The locking mechanism for locking the two pieces of the splash shield together may be configured as a ball and socket arrangement or a tab and slot arrangement.
