What's the advantage to having a tofu press with springs? I'm trying to decide which to get

I like the fact that I have control over how much it presses the tofu. This product has worked very well for me so far.

I remember reading in the descriptions of the regular and the super...that the one with springs adjusts itself as it drains the tofu. The one without would need periodic adjusting to keep pressure on the block which facilitates the process. I opted for the super with springs and I love it!

This product does not at all press well; its a pain to have to constantly screw it down with building grade wing nuts. Its not a classy product at all.

I used the one with springs before I bought this one. I found the spring really dug up the dirt and destroyed the lawn. If you want a really 'deep' de-thatch go with the springs and wack the heck out of it. If you want a gentle, more controlled de-thatch go with this one. I am really happy with it.

If you need to press something thin then it is easier to add a piece of plastic, wood, or something hard between the two plates. I have used a small book, a piece of wood, etc with plastic wrap around it (this piece needs to fit between the bolts and be about as wide as the plate) ...then put the thin piece of tofu on top of that and press it down. Much easier to cut/find a piece of wood or plastic (that you can use over and over) than to disassemble/assemble the press each time. This answer is for a very small group of users that want to press tofu or something else that is not the normal commercial tofu block size/thickness. If you disassemble the press we are not responsible and this will void the warranty. Terry - Custom Services

I believe that statement is making a claim of protein "by weight", it's not compared like apples to apples. An ounce of tofu vs. an ounce of spirulina is probably a better way to look at it.

I would suggest sticking with a spring mattress if you are concerned about weight/sagging. If you notice the store floor models of the solid "memoryfoams" they all have a bit of a sink from people just testing them --- I went with a combo model - individually wrapped coils/springs with only the outer layer memory foam. for us it was much better and breathes more cooler.

The press to me is useless; (read my review).However, currents are somewhat easy to juice, so this may work for you; I would rather find some other method.

Look up tofu making. The ingredient to make the tofu stiffen generally is agar agar ( expensive little packets in store ) or calcium sulfate ( gypsum as in wall ). Problem in getting bulk was that had to find good grade. And since near a Chinatown, it was cheaper buying the tofu. Major places like SS, Shaws and other I admit sell tofu at unmentionable prices.

I've spent the past week and a half researching and reading reviews from Amazon and other websites on these 2 irons. After reading the side-by-side comparison I decided to go with the cheaper iron since I have no use for vertical steaming or a detachable water tank. Thanks a lot for the helpful link.:)

There is no pressure gauge on the tofu press. When I use it to press tofu, I turn each of the two screws until the piece of tofu appears to have pressed about 1/4 inch and liquid is seeping out of it. If you are using it to press a soft cheese this would probably work okay, but you would not know what pressure you are achieving.

If you use whole beans and grind them a little coarse, that's the best option. However, I've used pre-ground beans and its worked fine, you just have to beware the extra-bitter magic dust that settles out into the last sip. This is probably true of any press though

You can use either. I use raw. It's a good food, I alternate with Sojos, Another good pre mix.

They are both healthful - high in Omega 3, Hemp has twice the protein with 10g per ounce vs. 4.7g for Chia. They are both great additions to your diet, it depends on what you like. I use hemp to coat tofu and tempeh and it taste great - I use chia seeds in shakes, but haven't tried any real recipes with them.

I use this for pressing tofu I buy at the grocery store. I don't know how to make tofu from scratch, but I suppose a cookbook might tell you. Good luck!

You are correct. You can control the amount of pressure used to squeeze the tofu. I have found the tofu to stay intact and able to be sliced or cubed after pressing

I would have to agree, I have gone through multiple French presses and they were glass or plastic and it would always break in a few months into it so I was done and just invested in a stainless steel press, amazing press. But that's just my background if your make your coffee or tea everyday I would recommend it, I bring it to work and just pour whenever I wanted more,its a convents.

Not at all! By turning the screws on each side, the upper plate is lowered and tightened against the tofu. You can tighten it as much or as little as you like. It super easy to use and the tofu is pressed in only 10-15 minutes. And it's very easy to clean. I wash mine by hand.
