How do you get the brick shape before putting in this press? Is there an easy way?

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

The tofu I use is already in a brick. The press removed the liquid allowing the tofu to absorbed the various ingredient's flavors.

You can buy it in the store in brick form, or you can make your own with a tofu maker.

The tofu I buy is packaged in a brick shape to begin with. I just opened the plastic container and fit the "brick" in the press and turned the plastic screws until water started seeping out. As water was pressed, I continued to occasionally tighten the press screws. By the way, I placed the press in the sink so I didn't have to deal with tofu water on the counter or mopping up with paper towels. The press comes with directions that are very clear. Good luck!

We built a frame under our mantle and set bricks around it to look real, but you have to have a vent coming out in case the heat gets turned on. If there is no vent it will cause a fire

yes, just be sure to oil or use oiled parchment paper on each side, so does not stick. I usually have to spin parchment a second time to get a more even (round) press

Turn the plastic top until the half circle opening lines up with the half circle solid piece then punch out. I use a butter knife to punch it out.

I used a small putty knife, but it is difficult to get completely flat.Overfilling the area lets you sand it flat once dry.

Should work well as you will need a fairly high heat and the press has a setting for linen which should do the trick. You might try the cotton setting first, then go to linen if cotton is not hot enough.

Yes it can be done just make sure you mask off front and back sides of the screen for maximumsatisfaction. My personal suggestion would be to find a brick pattern with black cement insteadof white or gray typicals. When you go to burn the image the dark lines will allow you to havethe design the want without going the extra mile to get your point across. You can alsotake a black sharpie or marker on your photo film and darken the light areas on the bricksbefore burning your image Good Luck!

You iron the collar first, then put the back on presser up to the collar and take several movements of the press to get to the bottom of the back, turn to front and fit presser on the front up to the collar. It may take another movement down to get the rest of lower front. Do the other side the same way, turn and flatten each sleeve flat and press each one and done. no wrinkles anywhere, I spray inside of shirts with spray starch before pressing.

I was struggling with this as well. This process worked better (I actually got a great cup like this):~24 grams medium ground (Baratza encore setting 26)190-200F water (Hotter than I was doing, pretty much just filled the press up when inverted)Pour slowly, Stir for ~15 seconds, use two rinsed filters (I do all this slowly so it is around 30 sec brew times). Flip it over and press slowly. Now, I

Hold the center while you blow dry it and stretch it, because if you start with the right or left side it'll wrinkle quick. Or you could cut the shape of it and then start in the center! That worked well for me on my secound try.

You have to work the plastic by hand when you get the mas and how high you need it you can used a heat gun to help you shape it , I hope this help's Steve R

It is a very simple thing to do. First, you have to use a thick paper as a template then mark the four holes. No measurement needed. Just punch the holes of the template then put it against the wall near by the front door. Use the small level tool to make it straight when pressing the holes using the permanent marker against the wall. If you have a brick house, make sure you mark on the grout not on the brick. Then you drill the holes using anchors with screws not provided in the package. Good Luck!

When I purchased the pan I received a booklet showing how to place the metal blocks to make different numbers and letters. Suggest you check back with Amazon for the booklet or the company that sent it to you. Definitely needed. When you have directions the pan is wonderful. Have used it several times to make number birthday cakes for grandchildren. Good luck!

Many drill presses have a press fit chuck. Clean the inside of the chuck and the out side of the shaft completely. Put something solid under the chuck and pull down on the handle to force the chuck home firmly. Then tap with a hammer to tighten with a wood block between hammer and chuck.

Cut a hole about 1/4 inch in the fabric as to insert the grommet in the fabric. After that is installed, then install the second part of the grommet and then put it into the press and squeeze it closed.

I don't understand why you would have to "cure or pre-cure" the press. It is not heated up like a cast iron skillet. I did not cure or pre cure mine (but used the plastic bag because I am gluten free) and my flours respond differently. In any case it worked fine.

Perfectly... if the vacuum seal is intact. Your "brick" is coffee that's being compressed by the outside air. Prick a tiny hole with a pin letting in some air and you should see the brick soften as pressure equalizes.
