Thanks for the link & the reminder that Amazon sells kitchen stuff! I just ordered a splatter screen (NOT for my dry-pack scallops - lol!!!), but I ordered another company's 15" instead since I'll be able to use it on my large Lodge cast-iron pan as well as my wok. It had 4 good reviews, & since it was $26, I got free shipping as well. Whoopee! Again - thanks for reminding me that I've been wanting to get one for months now!!
 
Granted, I'm not very experienced with scallops (only about a dozen times), but I've found that broiling them makes the splattering a non-issue and it gives them a pleasing brown crust yet still maintains their tenderness. - It's just a thought.
 
If splatter is the problem why not purchase a splatter screen. It is a useful cooking item. Fits most large frying pans or pots and cleans easily. Just thought I'd let you know what I use when splattering oil is a problem.
