Tofu Press by Tofuture - The Original and Best Tofu Press. Easily And Quickly Remove Water from Tofu to Improve the Flavor and give Perfect Texture Everytime

I wish I had found this tofu press sooner! It’s super easy to use—pop in the tofu, clip it shut, and toss it in the fridge. No stacks of books, no soggy paper towels, and definitely no mess on the counter. I love that it presses evenly without cracking the tofu, and the adjustable settings are great for different block sizes. It even works well for gently draining silken tofu when I make sauces. The water collects neatly at the bottom, and cleanup is a breeze (dishwasher-safe is a win!). You can tell it’s made with quality materials, and the fact that it’s BPA-free and vegan-approved seals the deal. I highly recommend it to anyone who cooks tofu regularly—this thing takes all the hassle out of the process! The best part of this contraption is that the tofu flavor is 10x better than regular pressing.

i wish we had gotten this sooner, it really makes pressing tofu and paneer so much easier! its inexpensive and works really well, although its a bit tricky at first to get used to setting the rubber bands with just one person. if you have mobility issues this probably isnt the product for you, since it takes a fair bit of strength to get both bands stretched and then pop them on at once. if you do one side first then the other, itll sort of squash your tofu on the one side, which isnt a huge deal but could make it crack if youre looking to get perfect cube cuts. you can keep adjusting the bands down as it presses, depending on how dense you want your end product.the biggest plus of this though, is how much space it saves in the fridge. the fact that its got a tray built in to catch the liquid is so nice! other presses still make you have to set something under them to catch the liquid, so unless you have the perfect sized plate, youre still taking up an odd amount of space in the fridge and worrying about it kocking off of it. our fridge is small, so its really great that this press means we can stick is wherever theres room and even stack it on top of something else without worrying about liquid running off.so far weve done both tofu and paneer. it fits a standard sized tofu block snugly, so the first little while of it pressing you probably want to stay on the loosest band until it compresses a bit. for paneer, we use a recipe for a whole gallon of milk, and it was just sliiiiightly too much for the press. it fit inside with a slight dome, so we just set the press part on top of it and stacked a can on top for a few minutes until it had drained and compressed enough to let us fit it on properly with the bands. its still so much better than how we used to make paneer though, and it shapes it really nicely so you get a perfect dense block of paneer for cubing/slicing.the only issue we have had is that in our firs tuse, when going to put tension on the bands, one slipped out of the sort of plastic tube/hinge its in (hard to describe, but you can see it if you look at the third picture of the listing where they close up on the handle and rubber band). it was easy enough to pop it back in, but it has me worried that as we use it the tension will cause the gap in the housing bit to eventually get wider and have the band slip out more easily. i think i mightve just been stretching it at an odd angle, but im going to keep an eye on it. honestly since it was only $23, im not too bothered about having to occasionally replace it since i know we will get a lot of use out of it.

Update 10/23/21: Still works like a charm. No issues with wear.Original review: For anyone interested in a comparison between this tofu press and two others sold on Amazon, here's my take. I'm not that thrilled with the tofu presser -- looks like two small cutting boards with wing nuts and springs to do the pressing. It does the job of getting water out, but squishes my tofu out of shape and leaves it with cracks. No bueno, if you eventually want to cut nice little squares or slabs from your pressed tofu. Also, it requires a dish under it to catch the water that's being squeezed out, which makes it a real estate hog in the fridge.The Tofu Xpress works like a charm. I love it, and I've had mine for about 6 years with no problems. It's very easy to use. I must admit though, I worry about possibly breaking the handle like things that are used to hold the presser down. I'm very careful with mine, because if just one breaks, my press will be useless.Because I'm a vegetarian and eat quite a bit of tofu, I wanted another press, so that I could press more than one slab at a time. I did not want to shell out another $55 (with shipping) for the Tofu Xpress. I decided to try the Tofuture, which at $30 is still pricey, but $25 cheaper than buying another Tofu Xpress. I used it for the first time yesterday, and as far as I can tell, it does just as good a job as the Tofu Xpress. The tofu keeps its nice rectangular shape with no cracking. I end up with a nice dense block of tofu.The Tofuture press seems sturdy enough, and the rubber band things seems like they will hold up for quite some time. If you're on the fence about which tofu press to get, I'd get the Tofuture and save a significant amount of bucks.

I've used it just once so far, but it worked great! I was using paper towels and a couple cutting boards with plates on top to press tofu previously. What a pain and very wasteful! This gadget is helpful. I look forward to future uses as well!Thanks!

I’ve tried pressing tofu the regular way for years and end up wasting tons of paper towels and really wish I had bought this tofu press much, much sooner. It’s made the whole process so much easier, cleaner, and more faster for me.What I love most is the adjustable tightening settings. It gives you total control over the type and amount of pressure you are using during prep, depending on what type of tofu you want. Whether I’m making crispy tofu bites, stir-fry cubes, or even the slices, I can get the exact firmness I am looking for.The green color is also such a nice feature because looks great on my counter and is easy to locate in cabinets. The device is even small enough to store easily, but still holds a full block of tofu without trouble at all.I also appreciate how sturdy and easy to clean it is. It saves me so much waste so no more going through half a roll of paper towels every time I want tofu which is key as paper products are pricey nowadays.If you cook tofu then please do yourself a humongous favor and buy this product…
