NOYA Adjustable Tofu Press - Vegan Tofu Press to Speed up Removing Water from Silken, Firm, and Extra Firm Tofu in 10-30mins without Crack - BPA Free

I'm impressed at the high quality of this tofu press, especially considering the very reasonable price. The materials feel top notch, and everything fits together perfectly.I used it for the first time tonight and it worked well. I can't say it worked perfectly because the tool and the chef work together as a team. It was my first experience, so I think I could have done better. It's hard to get a block of tofu out of an aseptic package intact, and as I usually do, I broke off a corner. Even though I replaced it, when I pressed the tofu block in this press, it (not surprisingly) pressed better on the non-broken side. On the broken side, it didn't compress as much, since the broken piece provided less resistance to the press.Another tip: when I put the tofu in the press, I immediately cranked the spring pressure all the way down. I ended up pressing the tofu for at least an hour. It certainly squeezed out a lot of liquid, but the tofu block was fractured in many places. The next time I use it, I will start by keeping the spring at the top and will compress it for 15 minutes or more, then slowly increase the spring pressure until it's all the way down, maybe for an hour or more. I suspect that slowly and gradually increasing the pressure will result in less fracturing.It really does remove a lot of liquid! My tofu block looked like it was half as thick.I think this is a great product, especially at this very reasonable price, and I'm happy with my purchase.

I had another “clamp top” tofu press and getting the top on took 2 adults to wrestle it to submission - it had to go! I tried this one and it worked GREAT! Easy to clamp top to base, no wrestling needed! Also no finger pinching - iykyk!The twist handle on top was simple to use, effectively pressed tofu well. I love the grid pattern on the easy lift out platform the tofu is on - my cut cubes were like works of art! Also love that you can marinate right in the press by removing the platform. Can’t beat an easy to use, effective and multifunctional kitchen tool!

Nothing flashy about this well designed and good-looking kitchen tool, but it is easy to use and easy to clean. What more can one ask for?Of course, durability and longevity (i.e., and the related "value") are very important issues for all consumer products, and since we've been using this tofu press for less than 3 months, we cannot address this issue (thus a 4-star instead of a 5-star review, sorry).We find this kitchen tool very useful, especially since our favorite big-box store only sells a 4-pack (of 1 lb packages) of an organic "medium firm" tofu. Using this tofu press provides additional uses for the tofu (by creating a very firm tofu block).A couple of minor issues:(1) BEFORE opening the lid, be sure to "dial down" (release as much as possible) the spring pressure on the lid (a step that becomes "obvious" once you have opened the lid before first dialing down the spring pressure).(2) When cleaning after use: One may (should?) try to avoid getting the enclosed metal spring wet (though vent holes are there), and/or if the spring and its housing are washed, make sure they are thoroughly dried before storing (and that dry time is usually very long). Possibly, this issue of the spring and its plastic housing should lower the "cleaning" item to 4 or 3 stars?

I love this tofu press. It has been a consistently used kitchen accessory for a number of years now. It's easy to clean and is user friendly. Although you could press tofu in other various ways, this item saves time. I also like that the tofu is evenly pressed.

Let me just start by saying that the NOYA Adjustable Vegan Tofu Presser is an absolute game-changer for any tofu lover out there! We eat a lot of Tofu being vegetarian and it gets used A LOT!!!!First off, the design is brilliant. I've tried various methods to press tofu before, but this presser takes the cake. The adjustable feature means I can use it for different types of tofu, whether it's silken, firm, or extra firm. Plus, the BPA-free materials give me peace of mind knowing that my tofu is staying pure and healthy.But let's talk about the real magic here: the speed. In just 10 to 30 minutes, this presser does its job beautifully, removing excess water from the tofu without any cracks or mess. It's a time-saver for sure, especially on those busy weeknights when I want to whip up a quick tofu stir-fry or salad.And the results? Oh boy, they speak for themselves. With the water pressed out, my tofu absorbs flavors like a sponge, resulting in a perfectly seasoned dish every time. Plus, it achieves that coveted crispy texture when I'm cooking it up in a pan or oven. It's like having restaurant-quality tofu right in my own kitchen.Cleanup is a breeze too. The presser is easy to disassemble and clean, so I can spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying my delicious tofu creations.I can't recommend the NOYA Adjustable Vegan Tofu Presser enough. Whether you're a seasoned tofu enthusiast or just dipping your toes into the world of plant-based cooking, this handy tool will revolutionize the way you prepare tofu. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
