Absolutely! I am a bit of a nerd so I like to have all the right data haha. Someone pointed out I should have used the same brand of tofu... which is an excellent point!!! Next time.
Once you turn the knobs on the the EZ Tofu Press you stand it on its side on a towel or plate, don't lay it flat. You are also supposed to tighten the knobs every five minutes or so over a 15 to 20 minute period of time; works great.
Thank you very much. That is the one I wanted to buy because the strength of my hands. I would have just placed in the sink but not on its side. Thank you. I think I will buy instead of using my rod iron skillet
Most people who have the easy tofu press turn it on its side to drain into a container. I just bought the Yarkor and it worked well! Very pleased. Thanks for the vid!
Regarding the third press, when you tighten down the knobs, you're supposed to set it on its side in a dish to catch the drippage. You don't just leave it sit flat for it to run off.
The Noya Tofu press has drainage holes. You don't have to open the whole thing in order to drain the water. Also, it would be a better idea to put the EZ Tofu Press in a bow to allow for drainage. Not the best review. Thanks all the same.
@@yummyveegs8149 Thank you for doing this video! I went with something similar to the EZ Press because all the others looked too complicated. I might end up trying one of the presses you reviewed now that I've seen how they work.
The Tofuture costs way less now, and really you are paying for the convenience of the design. Btw you can pour the liquid off on purpose by tilting it, and then put it back in the fridge to let it drain more.
One other comment to accurately assess the items it would have been better to use the same brand as formulations of different brands can skew your results
Absolutely these are options!! I always had issues with them not being perfectly aligned though so often times my tofu would come out a little lop-sided. But you definitely do NOT need a special tofu press to press your tofu.
Love how you measured the tofu before hand! So many people don't do that in their videos, thank you!!!

That's the one I used to have. It works great. I now have a Tofuture. Haven't tried it yet but looking forward to it~
Yeah that makes WAY more sense!! I will def try it out!
thanks a lot, that comparison was much more helpful than the previous 45 minutes of research I spent!
Ah I am so happy that this video was helpful!!!

Dang… I need to evolve lol!!! Thank you for the info and I’m glad you like the Yarkor one!! (And the video!)
@@yummyveegs8149 😉 I forgot to mention I like your sense of humor.
@@godofthebiblespeaks3188 aww! You’re so sweet! ☺️
Thanks for this informative video! I'm buying one for a friend and found this comparison video very helpful!! Tofu Bud it is!
I am SO glad you found it helpful! :) And I hope your friend enjoys the Tofu Bud!
Combining freezing with pressing also makes the texture super dense and meaty, and helps it hold it's shape.
I have recently started experimenting this with it!!! And it's so dope!
Thank you for this-I did something similar for myself and decided on the same one you did! My two others will get donated. Love this one!
I’m glad you found one you like!! ❤️
I love your style! It’s kind of like having your neighbor casually describe them over a cup of coffee. You’re so cute in your presentation.
Thank you so much! This is very sweet :)

That makes way more sense! Whoopsies.
Thank you soooo much for doing this video :)
Of course!! ❤️❤️ I hope it was helpful!!
This video was EXACTLY what I needed…super helpful!! I went with the close 2nd Yarkor. Seems a tad more easier to use and clean.
Nabbed the Yarkor as well! It was like $16, I’m excited
I am SO happy that this was helpful!
absolutely amazing video :)
Thank you!!! 🥰🥰❤️❤️
Thanks for the info!
I hope it was helpful! ❤️
For that blue one I don’t think you needed to take the lid off to drain. Same for the last one
Next time I use the blue one I am going to inspect this.. lol
You're awesome thank you so much for making my choice so much easier!!!
I am so happy that this video was helpful! Yay!
Excellent video! Super helpful; thank you so much 😊
You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful!
THis could have been more successful if the instructions were reviewed in advance of using each item
lol yeahhhh you are right. I'm a bit all over the place sometimes. Working on it!
Thank you for this, very helpful
You are very welcome! I’m so glad you found it helpful!!
When you said…come on plant based protein.!! 😂
Hahaha 😅😂 I was struggling 😅😂
Thanks I needed this info.
You are so welcome!!

Ahh, when I get home I shall investigate the Noya more! Thank you for the information and feedback! :)
Good video, going with the one you suggested. Thanks
Yay! I'm so glad it was helpful!
I have one like the messy contraption but mine has a tray underneath.
That sounds like the perfect addition to the messy one!! Haha! Do you like it??
THANK YOU! 🙂
You are so welcome!
Loved that you kept the "bloopers" in your video. Funny and authentic video.🤭
Haha thank you so much :)
If you put a towel under the tofu in the EZ Tofu Press, it'll help with the leaking and absorb the liquid, so the tofu will lose more.
Thank you!!! I think it definitely would have performed better if I had done that! Whoops 😅😅

Yeah I feel like I've learned what a bozo I am with these presses lol. I may make another video and maybe operate them the right way 😅... or try to

Oh funny. I thought your comment was rather rude till I reread it. I read screwed instead of skewed.
That is a good idea! If I do another one of these I'll def try to do that.
You should’ve had a control where are you? Just put tofu on top of a towel and then put a cast-iron pan on the top
Having a control is a super good idea! Next time :)
Super helpful video! This exactly what I needed. How long did you press it for?
I'm so glad you found it helpful! About 20 minutes!
My tofuture was $23.50. I have no idea why you paid $40 for it.
Whaaaat!!?? Dang haha good to know.

Two plates or chopping boards and a few cans of tomatoes and you have a fine tofu press… $ saved….
I use cheesecloth and my iron skillet.
Absolutely these are options!! I always had issues with them not being perfectly aligned though so often times my tofu would come out a little lop-sided. But you definitely do NOT need a special tofu press to press your tofu.
Praise the LORD for creating pulse collagen!
wow you talk a lot about nothing
lol! yeahhhh I'm trying to work on being more intentional with my words!
