Tofu Press Mould DIY Homemade Tofu Maker Pressing Mold Kit + Cheese Cloth Kitchen Tool tofu Mold

I was surprised how sturdy this press is. It alsobcame with the butter muslin to strain the tofu. Easy to use, I followed a recipe on YouTube from “America’s Test Kitchen”.I have used the press 2x.I also used an instant pot to make the soy milk for the recipe. Easier clean up. I placed the press in a metal bowl that tapered at the bottom slightly, so the press could fit inside without touching the bottom, so the liquid could collect in the bottom of the bowl. After folding the muslin over the tofu, I put the press part on top with large spaghetti sauce jar or a large can of beans. Works great, I definitely recommend it.

Works great and seems pretty sturdy. I have used it over five times so far and each time I have yet to have an issue. The included cloth works but I plan on cutting some strips so I can make blocks with less wrinkles. The only thing I'd like to change is handle is a little hard to balance weight on it. Currently using large tomato cans, 28oz. I average about 14 ounces of firm tofu pressing it for around 15 minutes, after soaking it goes up to around 15-16 ounces. I use 6 ounces soy beans, blended after soaking a day plus. I strain this using a nut bag 200 micro. I then add another 64 ounces water. I simmer slowly up to a boil which seems to stop the foaming boil over boil for 10 minutes cool to 180ish and add 1 tsp of Nigari dissolved into a cup of water in three separate additions three minutes apart. Let rest for 20 minutes and press using this.Items used from Amazonhttps://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CRPV9TQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1https://smile.amazon.com/Laura-Soybeans-newest-crop-Non-GMO/dp/B00C3FWXIC/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=soybean&qid=1613768034&sr=8-3https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QHWW49T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is a simple design that works very well and is easy to clean. As others have mentioned, it's tricky to balance something on the lid when pressing your fresh tofu. I decided to place a folded piece of muslin on top (see photo) before putting the heavy object on it and it worked perfectly -- didn't slide around at all. I think the manufacturer needs to go back to the drawing board on that lid design, but after finding an easy workaround, I'm happy with the product.

I bought this about few weeks ago and think it's the best purchase made, it makes my job so easy of making homemade Paneer ( Indian Cottage Cheese ) I like homemade panner and I make it quiet often ..Earlier making at home was a task specially making in the rectangular shape ...Price is Great ... Very Strudy... And easy to use ...Comes with a muslin cloth along with the plastic mold base and a plastic mold lid goes in and you put a heavy object on top to press it down to make that perfect Rectangular shape ...And beside making paneer it's a perfect Tofu press ... It does it's job and save tons of Paper Towel .. This Tofu press worth every penny .Happy Shopping :)

Haha! When will I start looking at the measurements? Small but works. I needed one bigger and will look for another. I left my bigger one in another country when I moved. I usually make larger blocks to avoid so much time spent on making tofu. But if you eat it only occasionally this one works well. UPDATE! just to small for me! So, I bought Komax Biokips Fridge Storage Containers with Dripping Tray. I drilled 3 rows of 3/16 inch holes down the side near botton. Keep dripping tray in bottom and cover with cheeseclothe. Fill with tofu curds snd whey. Fold over cheeseclothe over curds and put second tripping tray on top. Place your weights on top. I use yeti one quart water bottles. Run dripping cold water on tofu maker while the weight expresses the moisture in the tofu. Place finished tofu in second Komax Biokips Fridge Storage Container and cover with cold water. Good amount of tofu. Works great!

Like it a lot cannot wait to do my own tofu

You don't NEED this to make tofu, but it sure helps. I made tofu a few times using just a cotton towel, shaping the curds into a mass inside the towel. It worked. But this kitmakes it so much easier. The cotton cloth that comes with this is just the right weave (not too tight, not too loose) for draining your curds, and it fits perfectly in the press. I am very glad I got this. It makes it easier to make tofu at home, so I am doing it more frequently.

If you want to make Tofu and don't know which tool to use to make the tofu shape... this is the pefect tool for you! The cheese cloth is a nice material, it doesn't rip. I've had to squeeze the soy milk into the cheese cloth, and everytime I feel it's going to rip- it doesn't! It keeps the okara (the soy milk pulp from the soy beans when making the the tofu) inside the cloth. The mold is wonderful because it makes your tofu look like you bought it from the store. Then once your finished its so easy to rinse the mold and wash the cheese cloth with some warm water and hang to dry.
