1. 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, anda 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, anda 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 whereinthe 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, anda 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 whereinthe second folding panel lower frame is formed to overlap the middle panel upper frame in the open position.
