The “No-Brainer Container”™ design is considered to be one of the most innovative advances in food storage products in recent years. Currently, there is not a single food storage container on the market that easily stores the matching lids and bowls together. When you think about it, it’s truly amazing that a product designed to provide a convenient method of storing food, is itself so inconvenient to store when not being used. The “No-Brainer Container”™ simply solves this nagging problem.

    Up until now, most storage container users store lids together and stack bowls separately for space efficiency. Then, when a particular bowl is needed for food storage, the hunt for the matching lid begins. The “No-Brainer Container”™ eliminates this common complaint of food container users, by making the containers easier to use and space efficient.

Kathleen Adams

    Kate Adams is the inventor of the “No-Brainer Container”™. Following just one more frustrating event of trying to find a matching bowl and lid, as the containers cascaded from the cupboard to the floor, Kate vowed to solve this problem. She distinctly remembers sitting down on her kitchen floor with a bowl and a lid, thinking “whoever figures this one out is going to take over the market!” Within a few hours and some encouragement from her husband, she had it. Little did she know at the time, that that was just the beginning of a long patenting, researching and manufacturing process.

    In addition to being a wife and mother of three, Kate has been a small business owner of a medical billing service for the past fourteen years. Kate graduated from the University of California, Berkeley.
