Can I bring a skillet with me as a carry-on item?

Can I bring a skillet with me as a carry-on item? - Little Boy Carrying Can

My suitcases are very small (smaller than the maximum dimensions allowed for carry-on items), so I can't put my skillet inside and check the suitcase. I wonder if it is possible to take the skillet with me as a carry-on item. The skillet has a box.

Oh also, this is for an international flight to the US.

EDIT: Based on the list of forbidden items, it doesn't seem skillets are forbidden...
