I am terrible about pressing tofu. The idea of delaying supper so that I can drain a little water from my tofu makes me hungry just thinking about it! And I know freezing/thawing makes tofu’s consistency amazing, but that’s another one that I never plan ahead for. Usually, I’ll do the quick press I describe here, and that definitely gets a bit of water out, but not nearly as much as proper pressing or freezing/thawing.

When the folks at EZ Tofu Press offered to send me their press to try out, I was super excited! It arrived just in time for a small dinner party, so I put it to work pressing my tofu for a shepherd’s pie.
