Frywall Update | Shark Tank Season 9

Home cook Yair Reiner was tired of cleaning grease splatters after frying food. The regular splatter screens were ineffective and inconvenient. This pain point led him to develop the FryWall, a silicone cone that sits inside the pan, containing the mess while allowing easy access for cooking. In our FryWall update and pitch recap, let’s see if any of the sharks are interested in this business.

If you’re short on time, here’s a quick overview of what happened to Frywall after Shark Tank.

Yair Reiner entered Shark Tank Season 9 seeking $100,000 for 10% equity in his cooking accessory business. After his pitch, he received several offers from the sharks but ultimately chose to deal with Lori Greiner for $100,000 in exchange for 10% equity.

In terms of a FryWall update, the company is still in business. They have improved their product offerings to cater to a wider audience and have achieved millions of dollars in lifetime sales.

Shark Tank Frywall Pitch

• Entrepreneurs: Yair Reiner
• Business: Cooking Accessory
• Ask: $100,000 for 10% equity
• Result: $100,000 for 10% equity
• Sharks: Lori Greiner

FryWall founder Yair Reiner explained to the sharks that he came up with the idea because he had always been a home cook.

He invented FryWall in his kitchen and realized that nothing like it had ever been done before.

He lost his job when his company sold, so he decided to make FryWall his full-time business.

FryWall is a silicone splatter guard designed for home cooks. Unlike more regular mesh screens that sit on top of the pan, FryWall is a flexible cup that fits inside the pan itself. 

Its unique design captures hot oil splatters and condensation while allowing steam to escape freely for even cooking.

FryWall comes in various sizes to fit most frying pans and is heat-resistant up to 450°F.

The key benefit is its ability to keep your stovetop clean. By containing oil splatters within the pan, FryWall eliminates the need for constant cleaning during and after messy cooking tasks like frying. 

Additionally, FryWall secures itself within the pan, unlike mesh splatter guards, which need lifting or removing to stir or add ingredients.

The product is made from safe, BPA-free silicone. It is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning and folds for compact storage.

It is also perfect for cooking enthusiasts who want to minimize kitchen mess and maintain a clean cooking environment.

He has a utility patent, and a single unit retails for $25. The cost of production is around $5.50, which Yair hopes to reduce if he secures a deal.

Seventy percent of the company’s sales come directly from its website, with the rest through 55 independent retailers.

At the time of their episode’s airing, FryWall had generated more than $800,000 in gross revenue in just one year. He is currently in talks with Bed Bath & Beyond.

Kevin O’Leary expressed interest and made an offer of $100,000 for 15% equity. 

Robert decided the business wasn’t suitable for him and dropped out.

Daymond John made the same offer as Kevin: $100,000 for 15% equity.

Lori Greiner also made an offer of $100,000 for 10% and agreed to fund purchase orders through a line of credit.

She also pledged to give Yair her golden ticket, which she only hands out once per season. 

Yair asked if Mark was interested, but Mark said no. Yair eventually accepted Lori’s offer.

Now, let’s see where the business is as of today in our FryWall update.

Shark Tank FryWall Update

It’s unclear if the deal with Lori ever closed. Several sources indicate that it never closed, while some claim it closed. 

It seems likely that the deal didn’t close, as neither Lori Greiner’s website nor Frywall’s website mentions each other. 

However, Frywall’s website and Amazon page do reference its appearance on Shark Tank. 

Despite this, our Frywall update found that the company now offers five different splatter guards in various sizes and colors.

It has different-sized products that fit pans and skillets from eight to thirteen inches in diameter. 

Their website also features a well-maintained recipe section with frequent updates.

Since airing on Shark Tank, FryWall has appeared on several television programs and earned millions of dollars in lifetime revenue.

FryWall has become a recognizable household name, dominating the splatter guard category within the kitchen gadget market. 

While the company’s exact net worth remains unknown, it holds a utility patent to prevent copycats.

As of today, FryWall’s strategy involves maintaining its niche market dominance by keeping its design simple, visually appealing, food-safe, and heat-resistant up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. 

While it’s unclear what happened with Lori, we are going to call this FryWall update a success.
