The tofu presses look great, but I’m boycotting Amazon. Are there other ways to buy these products?

Thank you for your review if these manufactured presses. I hate the proliferation plastic products so I opted to make my own using two square 365 feta cheese containers (you could use 2 used square plastic leftover storage containers). I made the strainer by poking holes in the bottom of one container, from the inside out, using an ice pick.

To press, I put the strainer inside the other container, put in the tofu block and top off with a piece of parchment paper, a square of unused cedar plank I had at hand for grilling salmon (this spreads the weight evenly) and a weight. I use a can of beans.

In reply to Chandler. For sliced tofu, I'd recommend going with the ToPress Bamboo Tofu Press or the EZ Tofu Press. The set pressure levels on the first two presses work better for full blocks of tofu.

In reply to Joseph Kraatz. We love freezing tofu too! It's such an effective, easy trick for firm tofu.

Thanks for this review! I have considered buying a tofu press for a while, but I typically pre-slice my tofu and manually press one piece at a time rather than the whole block. Do you think either of the first two would work well for pressing just one slice of tofu?

I just freeze my tofu. Thaw on a paper towel.
It absorbs flavors very well. It’s great for baking, grilling, air frying.

We have had the bamboo one for several years. Ours was made in USA. It is not plastic (which we try to avoid) Works great. A tip for easier start. Push the top down. Quickly spin the nuts down to the level. I flick them with my fingers. For the rest of the time, you do have to turn them.
