Review on Akamino Tofu Press Removes Pressing by Tim Wadman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It works for this price

I wasn't sure if the other type of tofu press (with clamps on the side) would fit different sizes of tofu, so I bought this one. I often buy direct from the tofu manufacturer, which comes in large rectangular blocks rather than standard boxes, so this press works well for tofu of various shapes. Turning the screws is a bit fiddly, but at least it holds the pressure well. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, otherwise the tofu will "tear” on the inside.

Pros
  • Easy to use and clean - just place the tofu in the platen press and then turn the knobs to drain the water and it won't fall apart. Clean with soapy water or wash in the dishwasher.
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
