@andycarolan I was unaware a tofu press is a thing and I feel like I need one 😆

andycarolan, 1 month ago

@Jennifer I like the one I have, it gets a lot of moisture out of the tofu.

@andycarolan I found a bamboo press and got one. I've been using a somewhat half assed method to press mine, I bet this will work a lot better. I'm glad I saw your post!

@Jennifer Oooh, glad you got one! I hope you get on ok with it. I use mine all the time :)

@andycarolan Reminds me of stretch & fold I need to do for making sourdough bread 😅

andycarolan, 1 month ago

@ovan I've never made Sourdough, but I do find that kneading regular dough is almost therapeutic to me 😅

ovan, 1 month ago

@andycarolan I totally get that, it is indeed therapeutic. You might be missing out on the sourdough benefits though (and it's not hard to do) 😉

@ovan I need to find a vegan solution to making the starter... then I will give it a try! :)

ovan, 1 month ago

@andycarolan Ah, but it’s just water and rye flour to make the starter (and some patience)

@ovan I might struggle with the patience part haha. I will give it a try, thanks!

@andycarolan I never had a Tofu press… what’s the advantage? (I usually get firm Tofu…)

andycarolan, 1 month ago

@yatil Well, it only works for medium/firm blocks of tofu. For me, this is like Cauldron brand (unsure if you get that there?)

It just squeezes the water out, and allows for better absorption of flavours (if marinading)

@andycarolan Maybe I have to try it out. We have the Taifun-brand tofu, which is firm. I never thought that they don’t marinade well enough (I press them manually like a cave man before marinating.) https://www.taifun-tofu.de/en/products/tofu-natur

@yatil Haha, “like a cave man". I guess each brand differs, but if you squeeze/drain etc before use, I guess the end result is the same.
