TOFUDEE Tofu Press for Vegan - Dishwasher Safe & BPA Free Tofu Presser that Swiftly Drains Water from Soft, Firm, Extra Firm & Organic Tofu Without Crack in just 15-20min - Enhanced Flavor & Texture

I have never used a Tofu press before so I have nothing to compare this with. It seems to do exactly what it is supposed to and has made using Tofu on a sandwich much nicer. There are other more expensive presses that I can't imagine can do much better than this since the job is is basic. This one is well made and easy to use. I suppose I could spend a lot more money for one and leave it out on my counter for people to see and oooh! ahhhh! over my overpriced Tofu press. I just ordered another one to use in a second location.

I’ve always used plates and paper towels (and books) to strain my tofu, but I wanted to see if a tofu press would be worth the money and effort. Short answer: it is. The sturdy tray where the tofu goes fits the whole block easily, and the top locks on well. It’s SO easy to assemble, use, wash, dry, and put it away. The storage space required is so small, it’s no bigger than the container I use for leftovers. Last night I used a block of extra firm tofu and the recipe called for it to be “well drained.” Well, the press got 2/3 a cup of liquid out while I prepped for about 20-30 minutes. And no crumbles! I highly recommend just buying a press because it makes the process so much easier. As a mobility-challenged person, I’m looking for easy more and more each year.

Update 6/27/24: I’ve now had this almost a year and a half and I still love it. No issues with anything breaking or loosening over time, and I use it several times a month. One of my favorite purchases from Amazon of all time. Original Feb 2023: I’m not gonna lie; I always thought tofu presses were a waste of space and money. I can just use towels and sheet pans and something heavy, right? Sure, I cooould, but time after time, I’d buy tofu and then not feel like taking the time to get all the stuff together a few hours before dinner, so I’d end up throwing out the tofu and kicking myself for wasting food and money. So one night, when my impulse control was low, I saw this and decided to try it. Well I’ll be darned if I don’t absolutely love it! I can just take the tofu, pour off the liquid in the container, pop it in, tighten it, and forget it. I have never had such dense, crispy tofu before! I can’t believe how much liquid presses out and how quick and easy it is to get it that way. Marinades soak in so stinking well, because the tofu is a total flavor sponge. And the whole thing is dishwasher-safe although the very top part doesn’t really need to be washed every time since you can pop off the part that touches food. I can’t even fully explain why but I find it very charming that it presses the name into the tofu and I love the color. I love how securely it snaps into place and how easy it is to use. And in case you’re wondering, I paid full price, I don’t get anything for writing this, and my only incentive is that I think it’s a cool and super useful product for lazy people like me and hope to help others make a smart purchase and support a small business.

Nick’s Take (The short story) This replaced my plate + paper towel + pot setup and immediately made tofu prep easier, faster, and less wasteful. Simple to use, easy to clean, and effective — it’s increased how often I actually cook tofu. 1. What I Like Efficient pressing: Fully drains tofu in ~15–20 minutes No paper towels: Eliminates waste and mess Smart design: Tofu stays elevated above drained water Marinade-friendly: Drain, then reuse same container for marinating Robust mechanism: Controlled pressure without crushing 2. Real-World Use Before this, I used a plate + paper towels + pot. It worked — but was messy, wasteful, and inconvenient. Now: Get home Put tofu in press Make dinner later Minimal setup. Minimal cleanup. No wasted paper towels. It’s simple enough that I now cook tofu more often. 3.Who This Is For Great for: Home cooks Plant-based / vegan kitchens Anyone tired of paper towel waste Not necessary if: You only cook tofu occasionally 5. Final Rating: Five stars. Simple design, great execution, and genuinely improves daily cooking workflow.

It works just as described. Very effective pressing extra firm tofu. Much easier than a plate with a weight on top! Does exactly what you want it to. You will have a nice dry block of tofu to crumble, scramble or use as you would like. Quick and easy.

Bought this last year and used a few times until the compression wedge, lid and spring came apart and could not be put back together. Contacted the company and they were extremely responsive. Replaced the lid at no charge and followed up twice to make sure I received the replacement and there were no issues. I'm back to using the Tofudee regularly. Love that I can place my tofu in the press and put in the refrigerator until I am ready to use. Removes moisture well without causing crumbling and is super easy to hand wash. Would recommend buying and remain very impressed with the integrity of this vendor.

Easy to use and does a great job with getting excess water out before cooking tofu

Me encanta, había comprado otra muy básica pero está me gusta muchísimo más

Die Handhabung ist sehr einfach, das Teil spülmaschinenfest und der Tofu in allen gewünschten Konsistenten gelingt bestens

I bought it because a friend of mine recommended this product. As described, it is well used to harden tofu by removing extra liquid. In addition, it is well used to drain the water of blanched or pickled vegetables. I use this first and squeeze out by hand later, so my hands hurt less. Generally, I'm satisfied with it.

I am happy with my purchase. Thank you.

It is compact and easy to store. It doesn't quite fit the tofu brand I buy perfectly, but just needs a little squish and it goes in there just fine. Does the pressing perfectly, the spring on top is easy to turn. I've found that I give it a few twists at first, then go back in 10 minutes and I can twist it a few more times. Super easy to clean. The unit feels very robust. Great buy.
