Tofu Press made from reclaimed Rimu

Reclaimed Rimu has been used to make this Tofu Press.

Pressing the Tofu helps remove the water, which in turn allows the Tofu to absorb more flavour from the marinade, it also changes the texture making it chewier and denser than the un-pressed block.

This press measures approx 150mm Sq with enough space between the screws to accept a standard block from the supermarket.

All the hardware used is stainless steel. The timber is finished in a food safe oil and beeswax mix. (also for sale in my Felt store)

The press should be rinsed after use and patted dry, and also allowed to air dry fully before putting away. it should be maintained as you would do a wooden chopping board.

The front of the press has been laser engraved with the Japanese symbol for Tofu. It can be personalised to your needs.

The images show a previous press for example purposes, new orders may look slightly different due to the differences in the timber.
