A passenger posted a video this month making fresh pasta from scratch at her seat. She walks step-by-step through the process: pouring flour, adding eggs, and kneading the dough into a ball — as though she were in the kitchen.
She uses utensils and ingredients she brought through TSA. And she shows just how practical it is not to suffer through the food you’re given in coach. Meanwhile, passengers around her largely ignored the stunt, as she calmly mixes and shapes her dough to make gnocchi.

Making the dough is one thing. Heating would be something else completely. Battery‑powered heat‑producing devices are going to be generally banned. You can’t bring ‘seat power appliances’ and just fire them up.
Meanwhile, tray tables and seat surfaces aren’t exactly the hygenic spaces where you want to cook. So I guess you can eat that once you’re done.
The ingredients at least are plausibly legal. Powders are allowed through TSA, though may be subject to extra screening. You can bring fresh eggs in your carry-on, but they’ll be messy if they break.
And speaking of messes, maybe the worst thing here is the cleanup. There won’t be much more than a basic tidy between flights, and odds are your cleaning up of your own space will be incomplete. What are you leaving for the next passenger? This is a mess you can’t really remediate in 30” pitch.
Nonetheless, we’ve seen many such examples of inflight aspiring chefs like the man who cooked steak in a Delta lavatory, the American Airlines passenger who baked bread on a flight to Spain, and the Delta customer who precisely cooked garlic shrimp in the lavatory using a 6 volt battery.
And don’t forget, you can get creative in your hotel room once you land, like the man who turned his bathroom into a kitchen to make beef dinner nachos.

I want to make this video. Scr€w the pax around me. Heck with the cleanup. It gives me pleasure; that is all that is important. Do the eggs have to be in your one quart bag of liquids under 100ml?
I should say I am speechless, but this absolutely gross 5 minutes of fame video, has dumbed down the rest of culture so much that I kind of tend to look forward to all the fake AI generated bear cuddling the fawn videos, before tuning into Bald Eagle reality Aftermath of the bloody carcass remains being wrestled and scattered across the plains of those lovely little bear fawn AI generated images.
Mass culture Reality is not real anymore as Mass Culture media has not been for some time now too, it seems. It’s a conundrum distraction of the dumb, but this is what the low information people or our world are choosing to believe when it comes to selecting those leaders they wish to follow.
OK, I looked it up. Eggs are allowed and not part of your quart-bag limit, it appears.
That’s good to know. So now we can all make some noodles on our next flight.
I would start recording the passenger and tell them that it would be great for my YouTube channel, “Failed Desperate Influencers Caught on Video”.
Do anyone still do quart bags?
Nothing comes out of the bags for my travels in the last couple of years except sometimes laptops/large electronics.
“Do anyone still do quart bags?” It is still a requirement that they be used. And, for those not in TSA precheck, they still need to pass through separately. It’s a good idea to make sure you have one even if you are TSA precheck and travel internationally. I’ve read on blogs like this that some US-based travelers found themselves struggling to find a bag to put their liquids in at some non-US TSA equivalents (since they do not have precheck-like special treatment).
@This comes to mind — “quart-bag limit”… what is this, Canada? Hardly enforced in the US at all.
Feel sorry for any celiacs nearby? Some can get wheezy will flour in the air.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say she rented a set piece designed to look like an airplane seat and window. Did an amazing job at editing in the nothing but blue sky and then some cloudy sky. That would be a lot easier than trying to do this IRL. There isn’t enough elbow room to sit there and knead that dough. And her hands would be filthy from touching anything in the airport or airplane itself. Just touching the seatbelt even after disinfecting your hands would be gross. But what’s the point if you don’t have boiling water to cook that pasta? Steep it in the tepid water they give you for tea?
I had my 90ml boxes of drinking yoghurt in my quart sized bag when Korean security decided to look at it and determine of the containers were 100ml or less three weeks ago. I am glad I followed the rules. I always take a lot of extra clear quart sized zip lock bags with me.
@jns — Korean ‘drinking yoghurt’… tell us more! Makes me wanna fly from Fukuoka to Busan to find out!
Actually Thai drinking yoghurt by a company called Dutch Mill. I had bought three cases of 48 at $8 per case in Cambodia before the border war started. I drink one or two a day. Some go to others. I brought six on the airplane with me in my quart sized clear plastic zip lock bag. Korean inspection closely inspected them to make sure that they were 100ml or less each. KTI was my origination airport, ICN was my transit airport and LAX was my destination airport.
