Rice Cooker
Common questions
Yes. A rice cooker is a standard electrical appliance with no aviation restrictions. Pack it clean, dry, and padded to prevent damage.
Checked baggage is far more practical for a rice cooker. Most units exceed carry-on size limits and are heavy enough to be counted toward weight allowances.
Wrap the heating element and any glass lid carefully. The pot and lid are the most fragile parts. Surround with clothing for padding and ensure the power cord is neatly coiled.
Only if it exceeds your personal duty-free goods allowance. For personal use, a single rice cooker is typically within the allowance in most countries.
