Sauce on the airplane?

[dairyou]

Has anyone taken a small tupperwear of sauce on an airplane? If I put it in a tupperwear container will it explode in the airplane due the the pressure?

I know I would have to wrap them in ziplock baggies just to make sure. I was just wondering if anyone has done with successfully.

TIA!

You mean in the cabin with you? No, the cabin is pressurized, your container won't explode. But you might want to consider a container with a screw-on cover, even inside the zipper bag.

Its entirely likely that your container will "explode" (more likely it will ooze) in flight. Although cabins are pressurized, they are not pressurized to sea level. Instead they are pressurized to something like 8000 ft, which is likely less than what ever it was when you sealed your container.

Here's what you can do--fill yout TUpperware about 3/4 full with the sauce and freeze it. Take it out and slip it into a Ziplock just before you elave for the airport. Problem solved.

Thanks everyone! Duh, I didn't even think about freezing it or putting it in a screw top jar

I make this chicken the the kids want it WDW, so I have to tote the sauce with me. I know it sounds silly! Thank you for giving me some great advice again

Freezing totally works! My Italian grandma brings her homemade red sauce frozen in tupperware and then wrapped in ziplock bags. Never had a problem--except when the stewardesses try to buy it off her. She's a cutie! She has had to part with some of her homemade cookies twice in order to be allowed off the plane with her red sauce supply untouched.

I would be careful about bringing "sauce". The flight attendants could easily smell it on your breath.

I would suggest you do what the pilots do: Get liquored-up before the flight.

Actually I have taken frozen sauce with me and it was just fine. I carried it in a mid size collapsible cooler with a few other food items (fruit, couple bottles of water, some cheese and pepperoni) I had it in a Gladware container with snap on top and then wrapped it in plastic also. It was still frozen when we got there (and that was a two hour car ride, an hour and a half at the airport and two hour flight plus another hour from airport to checkin) I guess those insulated coolers really do work.
