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

This is one of those purchases where you might wonder if you really need one more thing in the kitchen that really only has one job. In this case however I was tired of making some sort of pressing contraption with whatever containers and weights I had lying around. And sometimes (most of the time) I forget I need to press tofu until it's too late to do a good job.This is easy to use, and easy to clean. It's sized to fit any of the commercial tofu products you are likely to find in your local grocer store, so using it takes no more than drop in the block, close the lid, and start applying pressure. I also like the feature that allows me to drain liquid without opening or disassembling the press. My usual process is to start pressing, come back in 10 minutes to drain, and increase the pressure a bit. Repeat until done. There have been some other comments about the press cracking the tofu and I think that's what happens when too much pressure is applied to quickly. This is effective at getting the water out in a short time, so I haven't found that it really takes extra time to press in a couple of stages. It's still faster and more consistent than anything I'd made myself. The fact that there is an extra lid to use it as a marinating containers is a good feature as well; anything that prevents me from having to wash an additional item is a win in my book.The materials of construction seem sturdy and well made. I haven't had it long enough to evaluate durability over time, but from what I can see I don't anticipate any issues.

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!

For years I have did the old paper towels with added weight to press my tofu and finally snagged me this tofu press. Let me tell you I'm in love! I don't know why I didn't buy one sooner. This particular one is very sturdy and held up under the pressure of the spring quite well. It successfully AND QUICKLY removed the liquid from my tofu perfectly. I love the alternate lid that can be used to marinate after pressing without dirtying another container. I have used this on 3 different firmness of tofu and it performs awesome for each.The only slight down side is the lid latches just fold over and grab the lip of the container without an actual locking mechanism so when under the pressure of the spring be sure NOT to attempt to lift the latches before you turn the spring back up to starting position or you will have the press lid flying toward you.Overall I'm satisfied with how well the product is made and performs. Absolutely recommend!

I use this so often!!I love pressing tofu because then it's easier to brown. This is very reliable and I've used it for a long time now. I highly recommend it and find it easy to use.It does a good job pressing out the liquid and it also allows it to be marinade within the container. It's so multifunctional and it was a great price. It's my go to kitchen tool and the design is easy to use.

I found this product really easy to use and easy to clean. Yes, there are a few parts to it, but it's only 3. it's not like it's got 6 parts or something to wash. you just give them a little swish with a soapy sponge then rinse and put them in your dish rack, it's really no big deal.I liked that the product allows me to adjust the pressure and has a stopping point. I buy extra firm tofu, so i was only pressing it for around 30-45 minutes. with this press, you can only GO SO FAR. which means, you know when it's done pressing. you cant press tofu to death in this thing. so you can't overdo it, is what i'm saying.i emptied the water as i went. you could probably leave it, but i feel like it's just better if you check on it every 10 minutes or so and empty the water as you go, so it doesn't reabsorb.i press around 2 bricks back to back so i do not use it to marinate, because i'm using a different container to marinate because i've got a brick ready to go before i'm pressing the second brick.It can drip, there is no seal in the press lid. so there is a little bit of drippage. you get used to it and are more careful the second time you use it due to that. the reason there is no seal is because it is trying to drain something, so air needs to escape and also it's easier to wash without a seal there, no mold will form over time. trust me, it is a good thing that there is no seal on the top of the press. it doesn't need one.the marinating lid does have a press, which is good because that's when you need a seal.

This press works very well. It does exactly what it is designed to do. I love the marination lid. I also use this as a marinating container for my marinated eggs. The foot of the press keeps the eggs submerged in the seasoned soy sauce, like it was designed for it. Just the foot plate with the marinating lid, not the press top. I am going to purchase another so I can press my tofu and marinate eggs at the same time. Great product

This is one of my favorite kitchen gadgets and actually gets used! It makes pressing tofu so quick and easy. Great quality and would definitely recommend.

Easy to use and really cranks down on the block of tofu. Easy clean-up also.
