Tofu is brilliant.

The curd of the humble soybean has an abundance of healthy properties such as being a rich source of fibre, protein, zinc, calcium, polyunsaturated fats and vitamins A, B1, B2, E. Not only is it virtually fat-free, but the real undiscovered genius of tofu is its versatility. The secret is to press the water out first. When pressed, this magic ingredient can be chopped, whizzed, crumbled, fried or baked.

If you are new to a plant-based diet and missing some classics, the chances are tofu can do a convincing impression of it. Tofu is packaged in water to keep it fresh, but you need to press this water out to give it a firm bite, crisp it to perfection and allow it to absorb the flavours you are cooking with. In some cases, such as for mousse or cheesecake, pressing it will make sure your dish isn’t diluted and watery.

The Tofuture Tofu Press removes the water cleanly and effectively with no mess and no fuss to give you perfectly pressed tofu.
