I eat rice quite a bit. We have a small tiny rice cooker that is pretty small. Is it allowed to bring it on an international flight? I checked online and apparently this is not a prohibited item which shocked me. Now does it depend on the airline i fly with such as whether its jetblue, delta or america etc? Or are all their policies the same? The other thing is what about the travel destination? Does that factor in or whether its canada, mexico, europe, its the same thing?


Also would it be better it in checked luggage as oppose to carry on? My carry on already is pretty big so no way i can bring it on carry on. Also what i confused is i know you get 1 carry on and 1 personal item. I always carry like a messenger bag which fit my laptop and electronics. The other one is like this small fanny pack and i had no issues with these items. Buf if i wanted to bring it as carry on, that means i cannot bring my messenger bag right? My fanny pack, i can always put it in my luggage.


So i assume best in checked bag? But if i do this, it has to be wrapped well right like in original box and taped? I had no idea rice cookers were not allowed and thought hey this mini rice cooker would be nice if i bring it since its pretty small. However, if i put this in my checked bag, would TSA most likely open it up since they could see its a rice cooker? Also i checked and pressure cooker looks a bit similar so would my bag be inspected most likely? The thing is i heard about TSA and them stealing from luggage or handling it aggressively. So that would be a concern of mine. But if you put a rice cooker, expect your luggage to be examined almost always? I don't believe i ever put any electronics in my checked in bag ever.
