Splatter guard for pots, pans, and other cooking appliances, with long-handled tongs, which have two legs that can be pressed together, includes a movable tongue situated between the two legs so that the tongue is raised when the two legs are pressed together. If the two legs are pressed together, the tongue is automatically raised, at least partially, and in particular in its front area, which faces the free leg ends, to the extent that the tongue protrudes above the two legs. In this way, a clamping space is formed between the raised tongue and the two legs into which a flat splatter guard element can be inserted. If pressure is applied on the two legs when the splatter guard element has been inserted, the splatter guard goes back to its basic position in which the tongue is located, at least essentially, in one plane with the two legs. With the movement of the tongue into this basic position, the splatter guard element inserted between the tongue and the two legs is clamped between the tongue and the two legs and held there. In this position, the splatter guard can be placed on the upper edge of a pot or a pan, so that the splatter guard covers the opening of the pot or the pan with the splatter guard element inserted therein, and in this way, a splashing out of grease or liquid is prevented.
