Review on 🥬 Tofu Press Maker with Strong Spring, Easy Drain Water Collection Tray - Grey Kitchen Gadget by Stacy Hahn

To use this, place the spring on the seat below, place the tofu in the strainer and snap off the top. This is where a star comes into play: latches are difficult to latch under power. I ended up turning the device upside down to hold it better, but then the water leaks out. So if you do this, lay down a kitchen towel first. And the latches look flimsy (the hinge part looks flimsy and can fail over time, rendering this thing useless unless you press the top down with a heavy brick). So many tofu recipes call for pressing; this removes excess water and allows for a tougher protein texture. I love tofu and there are several fried recipes that work best if you strain the tofu first. You can press the tofu by placing it between two cutting boards and drying it over the sink, but you can put it in the fridge to press instead. However, because of these latches, errors can occur over time.
