NOYA Adjustable Tofu Press with Marinating Lid, Dishwasher Safe, BPA Free | Adjustable Press for Any Thickness, Tofu Cheese Paneer, Evenly, No Crack, Marinate, No Mess, Hands-Free, Save Paper Towels

Super-easy to use. Does what is expected - and quickly. Sturdy and easy to clean. Good-bye draining on loads of paper towels. Love my newest -- and extremely affordable -- kitchen "toy"!

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've used this press twice now and find it absolutely wonderful for easily getting all the water out of my tofu into a uniform block without any cracks. It works fast, within about 10-30 mins depending on how firm you want your tofu. It's well designed, well made, and easy to wash as well. The corner pour vents on the lid allow you to pour off water without having to reopen the press, another great feature. The reason I chose this press over another popular one is the bonus of the marinating lid, which allows me to remove the pressing device, prepare my marinade in the same container, then put the lid on to keep my tofu from other food smells when I return it to the fridge. You could probably use the container for storing other foods too. I only gave it 4 rather than 5 stars because the second time I used it, I had trouble keeping the marinading lid hasps snapped and had to put a rubber band around the container.

I swear by this tofu press, seriously. I was so reluctant to buy a tofu press, but it was the best purchase I could have made. It makes the process of removing water soooo much easier. All I have to do is put it in the press, wait at least 30 minutes, and most of the water is gone, all with very little hassle. I personally like to do 30 minutes, then drain it and put it back in the fridge for some more time for maximum water loss, but you don’t have to. This is worth every penny. It’s easy to clean, and it is lightweight.

It certainly works for pressing firm or extra firm tofu. The drainage holes on the lid make it easy to pour out excess water and the porous insert makes it easy to insert or take out the tofu. The Tupperware lid is also great for storage and is water tight so it’s perfect for marinading and mixing. The body itself is very sturdy plastic. It all feels well made and I can throw it onto my top rack in the dishwasher as well. I’ve also used this to store leftover salad since it was perfect for draining the excess liquid in cucumbers and tomatoes and other watery vegetables and keeping the veggies raised up out of the liquid. I’m sure there are other similar uses I could find for this as well, like rinsing veggies. My only complaint is that you do need to center the tofu when you screw the lid down as it’s easy to have the press lopsided without equal weight distribution. Not a big deal, but there is potential for a slightly better design that can more reliably distribute weight from the press when it’s screwed down all the way.

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.

Let me just start by saying that the NOYA Adjustable Vegan Tofu Presser is an absolute game-changer for any tofu lover out there! We eat a lot of Tofu being vegetarian and it gets used A LOT!!!! First off, the design is brilliant. I've tried various methods to press tofu before, but this presser takes the cake. The adjustable feature means I can use it for different types of tofu, whether it's silken, firm, or extra firm. Plus, the BPA-free materials give me peace of mind knowing that my tofu is staying pure and healthy. But let's talk about the real magic here: the speed. In just 10 to 30 minutes, this presser does its job beautifully, removing excess water from the tofu without any cracks or mess. It's a time-saver for sure, especially on those busy weeknights when I want to whip up a quick tofu stir-fry or salad. And the results? Oh boy, they speak for themselves. With the water pressed out, my tofu absorbs flavors like a sponge, resulting in a perfectly seasoned dish every time. Plus, it achieves that coveted crispy texture when I'm cooking it up in a pan or oven. It's like having restaurant-quality tofu right in my own kitchen. Cleanup is a breeze too. The presser is easy to disassemble and clean, so I can spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying my delicious tofu creations. I can't recommend the NOYA Adjustable Vegan Tofu Presser enough. Whether you're a seasoned tofu enthusiast or just dipping your toes into the world of plant-based cooking, this handy tool will revolutionize the way you prepare tofu. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Works great and easy to clean.

Love this product. It works really well. It reduces the tofu to almost half its size. Definitely recommend!!!

Aunque no trae la tela de cielo, funciona muy bien.

Excellent! Press the tofu and then marinate in the same container. I think it’s the best!

Easily the best tofu press. I have tried so many presses but they always break or are flimsy and don’t work. After about three years of use it’s still working as well as the day I bought it after using it 2-3 times a month

Very good product. Made paneer with it.
