It expands to 3.5″ but collapses to 1″ for easy storage or if you’re wanting to cover a bowl in the microwave. It is also BPA free and dishwasher safe.
I bought the Frywall when it came out. The idea is great but it’s not worth the money if
1. You’re a short person under 5’5″- you can’t reach and see over the top of the wall if it is on top of a high sided frying pan
2. you’re using a very large frying pan and making a lot of food because the frywall does take up some space on all sides
Luckily Amazon is so great with returns and I could send it back and get a full refund.
Oh bummer! Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Jen! I would have never thought of that. SO glad you could grab a refund!
We have the pineapple slicer; my husband and I use it every week during the summer. I actually just ordered one and shipped it to my Aunt. We saw her over the weekend and she was talking about how much her family likes fresh pineapple but what a pain it is to cut it up. We told her she has to have one!
How sweet! Happy you could send her one! Thanks for taking the time to comment, Suzanne!
