Ik had altijd een beetje een haat-liefdeverhouding met tofu. De tofu goed uitpersen maakt echt het verschil tussen lekkere tofu en snotterige tofu, maar de bouwwerken die ik moest fabriceren om het water uit de tofu te persen was nogal een gedoe. En dan nog was ik meestal niet tevreden over het resultaat.Deze tofupers maakt écht het verschil. Ik heb hem nu een aantal keer gebruikt en ben er erg blij mee. Geen bouwwerken van snijplanken, keukenpapier en dikke Van Dale's (bij wijze van) meer op mijn aanrecht, maar gewoon een handig bakje in mijn koelkast. Het uitpersen is echt een fluitje van een cent, en het resultaat is zo veel beter!Ik kan er max 500g tofu (blok van de Lidl) in uitpersen; is wel proppen, maar het kan. Ik zet het 's avonds in mijn koelkast, 's ochtends marineer ik het en dan heb ik bij het avondeten heerlijke tofu.Als je met enige regelmaat tofu eet, is dit zeker de investering waard!

This device changes the consistency of tofu from wobbly to really firm.You can choose the firmness and it only takes a couple of hours to be ready.For really firm tofu, leave it overnight.

Ik heb de pers nu 3x gebruikt en het perst de tofu echt droog. Het is veel gemakkelijker om tofu uit de pers klaar te maken en smakelijker te consumeren. De tofu wordt heel stevig en is daardoor makkelijk te snijden en te marineren en blijft heel tijdens het bakken. Zeker geen miskoop! Kopen zou ik zeggen.Update: (15-4-2023) het werkt echt heel goed, de tofu is veel lekkerder. Ik heb besloten er nog èèn te bestellen, dan heb ik altijd een blok geperste tofu op voorraad. Wat een eyeopener.

Doet gewoon wat hij moet doen, heb hem nu een paar maanden en gebruik hem wekelijks.Wegens goede resultaten, en omdat ik meestal twee blokken tofu tegelijk klaarmaak (gezin van 5) ga ik dus nu maar een tweede aanschaffen....

Such a game changer. Easy to use, keep clean doesn't take up alot of space.

Time saver!

The product worked fine for its purpose. However, other than the product claimed, it is not really dishwasher safe. After the second time I put it into the dishwasher, the middle part came out deformed and the lid hardly fit anymore. I sent the product back.

Helaas bij het uitpakken bleek 1 van de "elastieken" niet aanwezig te zijn. Direct retour gestuurd.Had het zo graag willen uitproberen.

ゴーヤチャンプルを作るのに、島豆腐はスーパーに売ってないので、普通の木綿豆腐で最初一番上のフックにシリコンゴムをかけて、1時間したらめっちゃ水がでていたので一度水を捨てて、真ん中のフックにかけ直して、また1時間したら豆腐の高さが半分になっていました。キッチンペーパーで軽く仕上げに拭いて、角切りしてオリーブオイルで炒めましたが、ぜんぜん油が跳ねなくてすごく作りやすかったです。今まで油が跳ねて顔にかかったりして怖かったのが解消されて、楽に作れてキッチンも汚れず、味も美味しくなりました。これから食生活を豆腐料理をメインにしたいと思いました。もっと何十年も前に買いたかった。すごくいいです！

I have been pressing and cooking tofu since I became a vegetarian in 1993, and I finally got tired of pressing tofu in a paper towel weighted down with some heavy object in my sink.I ordered this press so I can press tofu inside my fridge and *save the tofu water for my plants or to use in a smoothie or in a sauce, gravy or soup. (Some people are even whipping tofu water into a foamy meringue similar to aquafaba!)This press does everything I need it to do, plus it’s so easy to quickly rinse/dry, stash in a drawer for tomorrow. I wish I had this 20 years ago!*If you want to save the tofu water, with a sharp paring knife, gently cut the plastic wrap from the package and pour the excess liquid into the jar. Then place the tofu into the press and set the bands. After the tofu has pressed awhile, without opening the press, pour the liquid from a corner of the press into the jar. You can then tighten the press if you desire, and squeeze out even more liquid to add to the jar after a little while.

Effective tofu press, easy to clean and use. It makes a big difference, which I did not expect

Was de stapel boeken en het geknoei met huishoudrol beu. Maar uitgeperste tofu is nu eenmaal lekkerder en gemakkelijker te marineren. Dus eindelijk deze tofu pers aangeschaft en zeer tevreden over het resultaat. Zelfs na 20 min al droog genoeg voor gebruik. Kan gemakkelijk nachtje in de frigo. Goed reinigbaar. Vraag me alleen af of die 'rekkertjes' niet gaan verduren en of je die apart kan bijbestellen?

Tofu scares me. No, not in the 'boo' sort of way - I don't envisage blocks of the stuff jumping out at me from dark doorways or busting from my chest like a movie monster - it's more like an intimidation thing. It's like if I have some of the stuff in one of my kitchen cupboards, I can feel it staring at me every time I open the door and can hear it muttering profanities and sniggering quietly at me until I close it, at which point the sniggering and name-calling becomes muffled - but I can still hear it mocking me.This, you see, is because my past experiments with tofu have not exactly turned out well. What was meant to be light, chewy and tasty tofu turned out as turgid, horrible goo, which lead me to be of the opinion that Tofu was disgusting stuff and was reserved only for weird folks and vegans, and worthy only of being thrown into the bin from a great height and at great velocity. This attitude to tofu was challenged however when I tried some of it in a Chinese takeaway and it was a complete revelation - whatever magical ritual the chef had performed on the stuff was nothing short of miraculous; this tofu was tasty, chewy and light as a feather; like little pillows of culinary perfection. I needed to know how he or she did this. Oh, and it also occured to me that I'm weird and vegan, so it almost felt like it was destiny that I'd find myself face to face with my arch-nemesis Dr.Tofu again.After some blog-reading and googling, it turns out that I'd fallen at the first tofu hurdle because I was missing out on an all-important step in the preparation of the stuff because I wasn't draining the water out of it. You could go on Google right now if you wished and you could read stories of the various methods that people have used in the past to drain the water from their tofu by balancing several heavy cans, books and other heavy items on top of the stuff in an effort to squeeze every last drop of water out of it. These stories quite often feature terrible accidents; cans falling on people's toes, ruined books and, quite possibly, tears.I didn't think I could be bothered with that much effort, so I had a search to see if anyone had released a kitchen gadget that took the pain out of draining tofu and found several traditional ways which were inexpensive (bamboo boxes and the likes) but still involved having to put heavy weights on top of the stuff or extortionately expensive ones which consisted of nothing more than two bits of wood and four wing-nutted screws that could be used to torture the tofu into submission and release its secret stash of water. It wasn't until I read stuff on vegan-themed social media groups about this 'Tofuture' press that my interest in it was piqued and, judging by how quickly the thing seemed to be selling out I decided that it must've be pretty good so I bided my time, waited for it to come back into stock and grabbed one.When it arrived, I opened the attractive packaging and pulled the press out of it's box. It's an attractive thing, feels well made and consists of three parts; a white outer tray for collecting the water, an inner tray that you put the tofu into which sits on little legs and is perforated at the bottom and the all-important pressing tray, which has 'Tofuture' written on it and has two clamps on it with chunky rubber bands which, when pulled onto one of the three catches on the outside of the white tray, compresses the tofu and drains the water out of it.Before I did anything else, the first thing that I did was give my new tofu press a good clean in hot soapy water and left it to dry and last night, I opened my kitchen cupboard and (mutter, snigger) grabbed the just-in-date carton of tofu that was languishing near the back of it, opened it up and plopped it into the press's perforated tray. Next, it was a simple case of... Hang on... Hnngh... Actually, it wasn't that simple the first time as the rubber bands were pretty tight but with some determination I was able to pull them onto the third and tightest of the catches on the outer tray and popped it into the fridge.So far, I'm very impressed with this thing. It's really simple to use and I'll hopefully get plenty of use out of it. They say that to get nice firm tofu, it needs to be left in the press for four hours or left overnight, so tonight I'll be attempting to make a tofu stir-fry thingy and will come back shortly to let you know how it turned out!>>> UPDATE: Well, I unsealed my block of tofu from the Tofuture press last night, chopped it into chunks and threw it into my wok. It was surprising the amount of time it took to take to cook despite the heat on my hob being turned to maximum, but after a while it started to brown and eventually turned a lovely golden colour and by some miracle it actually seemed to be firming up! I cooked it for a little while longer, chucked it to the side and cooked my veggies (with some teriyaki sauce) before throwing it in at the end....And?It was absolutely gorgeous! The tofu was chewy, light and very tasty! I can't believe it but hooray - I can walk past my kitchen cupboard now and not hear the mocking voice of Dr.Tofu anymore. He has been vanquished and will (hopefully) never return, thanks to this marvellous tofu press, which transforms formally flaccid floppy and foul tofu into perfectly peppy and pert portions of pure pleasure.
