Abstract: A bagel holder includes a housing with an open upper end and a bottom wall which arches upwardly in its center. Forward and rearward walls of the housing slant towards one another from their upper edges to their lower edges to form a general wedge shape therebetween. The housing end walls include parallel upper portions and lower portions which slant towards one another as they extend downwardly to their juncture with the bottom wall. Each end wall includes a vertical slot extending downwardly to a lower end spaced above the bottom wall at a point which is a vertical distance approximately the same as the vertical distance to which the bottom wall is arched upwardly. Each end wall includes a thickened portion forming a buttress pad at the lower end of the slots and formed integrally with the end walls.

Abstract: A food storage container includes a cylindrical barrel with an enclosed bottom for receiving a plurality of toroid shaped food products, such as bagels. A lid is provided for the open upper end of the barrel which permits air to pass into the barrel when the lid is attached to the barrel. A plurality of generally L-shaped ribs are mounted in the lid, with vertical legs projecting inwardly from the lid side wall inner surface, and horizontal legs projecting downward from the lid plate lower surface. The ribs in the lid space the lid side wall and plate away from the barrel upper end to form an air gap.
