i now have two of these--they really work to squeeze the water out of extra-firm tofu. i like to leave it in the fridge overnight. easy to use and efficient.
It looks sturdy and better than my other tofu containers that purchased in the past
There are sooooo many presses out there, makes it overwhelming and really hard to pick one. I looked for 1) ease of use 2) ease of cleaning 3) how it worked and 4) what kind of reviews.For me this one won. Yep, a bit more expensive but it has not disappointed us yet!It's made well, easy to use, easy to clean and best of all....it what is says it supposed to do.We have been pressing tofu over night to get it compact and WOW, it did a great job.
Preparation of tofu for cold salads is made easy and fast with this gadget. After clarifying the tofu in simmering water, crumbled tofu can be loaded in the perforated compartment, rinsed and squeezed without the use of bolting cloth or paper towel. The resultant semi-dry tofu crumbles can then be combined with miso for shira-ae, hard-cooked eggs for egg-tofu salad, cheese, meat or fish. A boon to tofu fans, this is a real handy and inexpensive investment.
I had great success with this product. It works much better than a stack of soup cans!
Easy to use. I had never cooked tofu before and decided to give it a try. Researched it and found the water had to be pressed out of it. Ordered this tofu press and was very pleased with it. Heavy duty plastic that will probably last a very long time.
Does a very good job on the tofu and at the same time helps build strength in your hands if you use it often enough.
Love the tofu press. I use it very often and it presses the tofu very effectively and doesn't take that long. It upped my tofu game for sure. I use the press first and cut them up and pop them in air fryer, the crispiest tofu ever. only thing I didn't like was one of the strip got half torn, so definitely using it until it breaks.
Love this tofu press at a fair price. IMHO, works better than a certain expensive one offered. Would definitely recommend to others.
This is the best tofu press. Easy to use. Easy to clean. I now own three! If you make a lot of tofu recipes, you’ll love this!!
This works exactly advertised. The tofu is pressed evenly and the water is contained. Definitely worth the money.
Great product. 16oz tofu block was 13oz the next day, very impressive
Works very well. I was surprised when I saw how much water I poured out of the bottom after a few hours in the refrigerator. The nice part is you don't even have to remove anything to pour the water out. Just hold it over the sink and pour from one one the corners. It is easy to clean and I find it easy to attach the rubber bands. I have only found it necessary to use the middle attachment bump out. If you use tofu, this is a must have. It will pay for itself by saving a ton of wet paper towels.
It's easy to use and presses tofu so it's ready for me to season and marinate and bake. I first bought one three years ago and I've since bought two more (four kids will do that to you) and everything's still holding up great. I was originally worried about the bands snapping but that hasn't been a problem at all!
Wow, this item works really well. It presses the excess liquid out of the tofu but maintains the shape of the tofu - doesn’t break it or smash it. I even use it easily on silken tofu with no problem. And it is very easy to clean.
The only way I've ever eaten tofu (on purpose) was in sweet and sour soup at Chinese restaurants. Having taken up Asian wok cooking in the last 3 months I've delved into that culinary world. I bought this press because of its reviews and because I was told it was a necessity to squeeze water from tofu. I've used it once and it turned out perfectly. I still don't quite understand the appeal of tofu in general because it's basically flavorless until it absorbs other recipe flavors. My preference is still for meat as my protein of choice. That said, if you're into tofu this is the best press you'll find and I looked at all of them online.
After reading the great reviews, I narrowed my choices down to this tofu press. It arrived quickly and was packed well, but was missing one of the elastic bands. Amazon didn't give me an option to contact the seller directly and I didn't want to return it since it looked well made, but with out the band it was useless. I went to the seller's web site and submitted a question and within 30 mins, to my absolute surprise, I received a response back where the seller was deeply apologetic that one of the bands were missing and immediately shipped out two new bands the same day. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the product and how genuine, kind and helpful the seller was in making things right. Thank you!
This tofu press excels in its effectiveness, ease of use and simplicity of cleansing. It consists of just three parts, each easily cleaned either by hand or by dishwasher. Perfect!
This is the first tofu press i've every bought. IT's a game changer!
