Hello, Are you still able to cut the tofu into cubes after pressing it with this machine? Or does it come out 'squished'? Some reviews say it's squished but I would assume that depends on how much you press it? Thank you!

I juiced spinach for the first time and it did a great job of juicing it. I didn't think there was going to be much but it truned out to be the right amount. The second time I added oranges for flavor and that mad eit tastier. So yes does great on spincah. Also depends on the amount of spinach I use a whole bag to get the right amount so now I know the amount I need. I noticed a comment that on person had to reuse the pulp to get more juice well theres nothing wrong with that and that could be done with any type juicer.

We buy the tofu in the package that comes in a brick shape. Just open the package and slide it in. Works great.

No. I have only used it to make a magnesium cream and magnesium oil. I have used it in baths, never in food. Sorry. I didn't know you could use it to make tofu.

I personally did not like this yogurt starter I threw it away. I bought plain greek yogurt from store for first batch and in answer to your question...Yes, saved 1 cup from my batch to make the next one. Perfect every time. Won't eat store bought yogurt ever again.

I have tried making tofu using this machine several times using both store-bought and homemade soy milk. It has not set once! I also am not sure if the instructions are referring to liquid or powdered nigari. The milk takes on a terrible taste when I add 10 ml of nigari powder undiluted.

It wouldn't scramble or fry like an egg (at least I don't think it would). I mostly use it as an ingredient. I do make a lot of French toast with it and scrambled tofu, but I mix it with something. It is a great product and gives me that eggy taste that I have missed being vegan. Having the recipe book has helped me a lot.

You need to use unprocessed soymilk for this machine (You can't use processed milk to make tofu in general). To get this milk, you need to use a soy milk maker which is quite a budget. What I use now and is working really great is to use a soyflour that I buy from wholefoods to make the milk easily (it has to be unroasted soyflour though). Just mix one part of soyflour to 3 or four parts of water and bring to boil on low heat while wisking it slowley. Let simmer for few minuts and continue wisking and make sure it will not boil over. Whallaaaa ... you have a great and cheap soy milk. You can use (but you don't have to) a strainer or cheese cloth to strain it if you have any pulp or so..... This milk works great with this machine. I also found that you can use lemon juice or vinegar or even lemon salt to get the milk to coagulat nicely instead of using Nigari. I didn't try to use it in this machine yet and see how the final product will look/taste like. It adds some acidety to the taste of the milk, so you may use it if you are creating flavoured tofu with soysauce or other flavour..

I buy tofu and I use the press to make the tofu a different texture. Removing the water makes it dense. To make tofu I believe you would start with soybeans.

I wouldn't be able to detect the difference, sorry. Frankly, the tofu really never touches the bolts as they're off to the side. I suppose it could happen if the tofu slabs were wide enough but that hasn't happened for me.

I am a novice at it so I bought the Dash Yogurt maker & I have to say I LOVE IT!!! (about $35 on sale @ Kohl's, they sell it here as well) I know you can do it on your own, but I feel secure knowing it knows exactly the right temperature & time to get the perfect results for me. The first time out I made a wonderful mistake by staining it (comes with it's own strainer) for way too long, about 12 hours I think & it turned into the most delicious cream cheese. I now am looking for a strainer only so I can have my Greek Yogurt & a cream cheese version on hand at all times. Now to find out more recipes!

When amazon emailed me your Q, I fortunately -! happened to see it when I was in my kitchen right next to the OXO mat. I just did a test: I turned it upside down and it was stable and stayed in place (although not with as firm a grip as when it is placed on the 'correct' side). It moved less than a 1/4" when I tried to shake it loose and it did still grip the granite surface. I've used both sides for heat resistance in a pinch when putting a very hot pot on my new granite counter. BTW, this thing is a much better aerating dryer than I'd expected, especially for stemware. I'd highly recommend it! When amazon emailed me your Q, I fortunately -! happened to see it when I was in my kitchen right next to the OXO mat.

This press is good for both making tofu from scratch and for pressing blocks of tofu:http://www.earthfirstinnovations.com/tm1202-tofu-maker.html

I liked the Nomiku because of the way it hooks to the pot, and it is a little more powerfull which will mean that it will cycle less while keeping the temperature where you want it.I had a few questions and the factory people were very responsive, unlike Anova who ignored my email questions prior to my selection.Have fun! I use it at least 3 to 4 times a month now, instead of cooking fish in parchment , I use the plastic bag, which I can preload with stuff, and freeze, then unthaw a little and drop in the pot , comes out great!

Happens to me every time. I've used it 3 times to make healthy veggie muffins for my toddler. Mushy in the middle after baking for 45 minutes! That's why I am here on Amazon trying to figure out why...I've used a cookie sheet underneath and put it directly on the rack. Same issue. Brown on top, mush in the middle. What do we do??

I usually make it over night, and allow it to strain while I am at work(about nine hours). The consistency of the product is nearly a soft cheese. You can expect to loose a little over half of what you started with. This being said, I am still very happy with the machine. It produces yogurt that is much better than store bought, at a price that's cheaper than normal retail. I only wish the unit had twice the capacity, so that I could make larger batches.

Your are very welcome Helen. I had to replace mine about 5 yrs ago, found 1 on Ebay and 3 on Craig's list so I am supplied for a while, I use mine so much I wear them out. Another very good machine is Zojirushi, it is very expensive for made to last a long time, my only objection is it has 2 kneading paddles which means 2 holes in bottom of loaf, once you get used to that it's ok but I like single paddle. I have a Zo that my husband bought for me on sale so I won't be out of machines for a few years. Think I'm down to 2 machines now. Good luck.
