Is a splatter guard patented?
Short answer: specific designs of a splatter guard have been patented many times, but "a splatter guard" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What this means for your idea
Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a splatter guard been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Kitchen gadgets are a crowded, mature field; novelty usually sits in one specific mechanism, the material, or how two familiar functions are combined.
