Are you planning to take a cooking pan with you on your next flight? You may be wondering if it is allowed in your carry-on baggage or if it needs to be checked in. The answer is that you can bring pots and pans onboard an aircraft in your carry-on baggage, but all cast iron cookware must be placed in your checked baggage. Pots and pans of this type are made of pure metal, specifically an iron alloy containing manganese, silicon and carbon. This makes them resistant and difficult to dent, which is why they are not allowed in hand luggage.
However, they are generally allowed in both carry-on and checked baggage, with the exception of cast iron frying pans. The TSA page has special instructions for pots and pans, and as usual “the final decision rests with the TSA officer”. Cast iron cookware is not allowed in either carry-on or checked baggage, so make sure to pack it before arriving at the airport. Anodized aluminum pans are a good alternative as they are lightweight and durable.
When it comes to blenders, the toucan can carry it with them as carry-on baggage, but make sure to remove the blade at the bottom as sharp objects are not allowed. In conclusion, you can bring pots and pans onboard an aircraft in your carry-on baggage, but all cast iron cookware must be placed in your checked baggage. Be sure to check the TSA page for special instructions and remember that the final decision rests with the TSA officer.
