I put a colandar upside down on the top of the pot. Works fine
That's a good idea - I'll give it a try. Graham
That's a _damn_ good idea! I have a large screen colander that would fit over my cast iron skillet. I use the skillet a lot to roast in as it's easy to clean.

I am developing a method for cooking pork ribs in my oven that goes like this:
- trim ribs - marinate - put in oven dish with oven on fan - cook and turn occasionally and add a little water to keep them moist - when nearly cooked stop adding water and turn on top element - cook turning now and then until the fat separates and the marinade thickens and adheres - drain off fat and serve
This works very well. The flesh stays moist, the fat is cooked out and the marinade caramelises a little.
Now SWMBO says this is very tasty and I have to do it regularly but can I please stop the splatter on the inside of the oven. A reasonable request. During the moist stage the tray can be covered with foil but during the drying stage it needs to be open to allow evaporation. What can I do? I am in rural Australia so a trip to a big store in the USA to buy some dandy device is not on.
Why not just lay a sheet of aluminum foil loosely over the baking dish? This should greatly reduce the spattering without impeding evaporation.
I have a "device" that is basically a fine screen enclosed in an aluminum hoop, about 12 inches across. It works great to stop splattering; my only complaint is that it has a plastic handle which melts if it gets near the heat source.
Along the same lines, you could get some fine aluminum or stainless-stell screen, and just lay it over the pan.
