Does the label address flammability? Even so, you're probably SOL. Excerpted from the TSA's Prohibited Items list:
Code:
Flammable Items
Items Carryon Checked
Aerosol* No No
Fuels** No No
Gasoline No No
Gas Torches No No
Lighter Fluid No No
* – except for personal care or toiletries in limited quantities
** – including cooking fuels and any flammable liquid fuel
I'm not sure how Pam could be construed as a "personal care or toiletr[y]" item, but maybe if packed among other plausible, innocuous baking items (Nestle Morsels, peanut butter, hazelnuts, etc.) it might be let go by a suggestible or harried screener. Good luck.
ETA: Is there no analogue to Pam in your sister's part of Europe? I could've sworn I've seen something like it in Germany and France.
