Review: This kitchen tool is ImPRESSive! - First time using and I love the press. My biggest complaint (nothing to do with the product) is that I scoured the web for recipes and they are all over the place with quantities. The challenge with this product is the instructions are only in Japanese. After reading and watching MANY recipes, here's what I did: 2 cups dried beans, soaked overnight in 6 cups water (6-8 hours) Drain and blend 1 cup beans per 3 cups water and add to pot - there's a lot of foam with this way, I will try other methods in the future Bring to boil and remove from heat, skim foam, put back on heat for 10 minutes - stir CONSTANTLY the whole time Pour mixture into strainer bag - I used a 2 cup Pyrex - it's hot, so work in batches and use a bowl inside a bowl to press the liquid out. Reserve the pulp for other uses (so I read - makes sense tho) Return liquid to pot, bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8 minutes Move off heat; mix the liquid Nigari with 1/4 cup cold water Let mixture sit for 15 minutes - skim the "skin" off and save to eat or for soup - it's like a skin of tofu Give the soy milk a quick stir and pour coagulant into pot; stir a few times and let sit for 15 minutes Gently scoop into mold, cover, and weigh down - weight depends on your preference - I used an 8" cast iron until the top of the mold recessed, then used 2 quarts of liquid in jars for a total of 25 minutes; I like firmer tofu so after checking and draining, put a small jar on top of the lid with my cast iron for another 20 minutes Set in cold water for 20 minutes to remove the bitterness (this info came from various videos) Haven't tried it yet, but it smells delicious and the texture is what I was hoping for Tofu looks a little yellow - maybe bc the mold is brand new? Forgot to weigh the brick but I'm guessing is maybe 18-20oz?? Hope this helps!
Review: You can make tofu out of any kind of mold but this makes the experience a little bit special. - I love this tofu maker kit. I have tried to make tofu for six years with inconsistent results. I have found the secret is the liquid Nigari that came with this kit, I always used the dried form before because it was less expensive. So far it has produced perfect results. I am so excited to at last be making professional quality tofu and it tastes Sooooo much better than store bought. It has a really sweet and delicate flavor. This is my fifth tofu press that I have bought and it is my favorite so far. The smell of the cypress (cedar?) wood smells divine when you pour the hot tofu paste into the mold. It makes my whole kitchen smell like a conifer forest. Lovely! An added plus is that it comes with a milk bag and two, not one, muslin cloths. This unit is pricey but well made and I hope will be around for a long time. You can make tofu in any kind of mold but this makes the experience a little bit special. Have patience after ordering because it takes a long time to ship from Japan. This is not a Best Buy, but it has become the first kit I grab when I go to make tofu every week.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don't understand the instructions!
*by R***. on January 14, 2019*

The instructions come in Japanese with absolutely no translations. I followed a youtube video to make tofu and the mold works perfectly! I soaked it in water with rice vinegar for a day before use and that gave it a nice aroma but have no idea if that was necessary. Seems well constructed and hope it will last a long time.
