Two Pillars Sails Past Its Kickstarter Goal To Launch UniLid

Two Pillars, a San Francisco-based kitchen and home goods innovator, on Kickstarter in November unveiled its newest product, UniLid, a universal kitchen lid that fits all shapes and sizes with a food tracking dial.

UniLid helps eliminate the need for plastic wrap or foil and the annoyance of sifting through cabinets to find the correct size storage lid for the container at hand. UniLid turns almost anything into instant storage, whether it is a watermelon, avocado or an oddly shaped bowl. “Cooking is always easier when you have the right tool for the task at hand,” said Alia Lau, Two Pillars Founder and CEO. “When designing UniLid, our focus was to create a multipurpose kitchen tool suited for all households and addresses many of the commonplace problems present in the kitchen.”

Engineered for optimal food storage, UniLid’s patent-pending design creates an airtight and non-spill seal to preserve foods’ freshness and flavor. Each lid also has a rotating day-of-the-week dial that can be used to conveniently track when leftovers expire, weekly meal prep and overall refrigerator organization. Other notable UniLid features include 100 percent food-grade silicone that is both FDA and LFGB approved and a lifetime warranty.

“There has been an overwhelming increase in waste. How many times have you cleaned out your fridge and been left with a trash can of uneaten and expired food?” said Lau. Research shows the United States wastes 50 percent more food now than it did in the 1970s. “One of our many aims for UniLid is to promote eco-friendly living and decrease the amount of food and disposable materials, like plastic wrap, that are unnecessarily wasted on a regular basis,” Lau continued.

UniLid was launched on Kickstarter on Nov. 27 and is over 2,250 percent funded.
