From the brand
We’re a small team. We’re plant-based. We’re sustainable. We’re also busy bees, innovative foodies, and crazy about tofu.
With these things in mind, it’s no surprise that we were on the lookout for an efficient tofu press.
Because a pile of books wasn’t it. We needed a new way to get extra firm tofu.
It had to be quick. Easy. Sustainable.
So, we decided to take a crack at making the best tofu press we could.
We want to show the world that a plant-based diet can be easy and affordable.
And what better way to start than with tofu? It’s the staple of versatility, ranging anywhere from crispy baked tofu to marinated tofu goodness.
After in-depth research and many experiments, we’ve designed a functional (yet stylish!) tofu / cheese press.
Becoming a top-end scrambled tofu maker just got easier – for everyone!
One box, countless possibilities.
As the sworn foodies we are, we value a tool that can be used in many ways in the kitchen.
Dreaming of some silken tofu or firm egg tofu? You’ve got it.
Is a cheese / tofu paneer more to your liking? Check.
Perfect as a cheese press or paneer press, this tofu mould box is designed to be as versatile as tofu itself!
Here at TofuBud, we put our heads together.
We made the best tofu press we could. We shared it with people.
Now, our paneer press / tofu maker is reaching the masses!
For an environmentally – friendly team like ours, it’s not just successful – it’s meaningful.
Plus, we can make heavenly smoked tofu every day!
And you can, too!
How to press tofu?
It’s best to use a tofu press. Put the tofu inside, press the knob down, & wait 15-20 minutes! It’s that simple.
How long does it take to press tofu?
With this press, it takes about 15-20 mins depending on how firm you want it.
If you need an extra firm tofu block, there’s a trick: wipe it down with kitchen paper. If any moisture is absorbed, it needs a bit more pressing time!
What is the best tofu press?
The TofuBud tofu press is sturdy, easy to use, has 2 pressure levels, & a removable drainer. Plus, it’s easy to dismantle and can be washed in a dishwasher!
Is it worth getting a tofu press?
Absolutely. A tofu presser is a nifty kitchen gadget used to squeeze the water out of a block of tofu. Using it is much faster, easier, & tidier than, say, stacking a pile of books. Plus, some can even cut down on waste.
Can I use this to make homemade tofu?
This item works best to press already made tofu. It also helps you make all kinds of tofu dishes. By achieving different tofu firmness, you can prepare anything from scrambled tofu to crispy tofu.
SUPERIOR EFFICIENCY – This shamelessly good tofu presser will drain all the moisture in only 15 min. Which means you can have tofu extra firm & ready to absorb flavors in just 20 min! Use this tofu kit and ALWAYS enjoy restaurant quality!
2 PRESSURE LEVELS – Choose the desired pressure level for different tofu firmness. Use it for extra firm tofu or to gently drain silken tofu. This tofu maker keeps the shape of tofu blocks & also works as a paneer press or cheese press.

Sooooo Nice!!
Gone are the days of finding something to put on top of my tofu to press out the liquid. This little item is wonderful. Easy to use, and easy clean… with nothing to break on it. It does a fabulous job of pressing the tofu which fits perfectly into it. I’m a very happy customer of this product!!! This, and then into my air fryer, with some sauce to go over it… ahhhh….

Incredible tool and worth it for those who make tofu a lot
Recently got back into making tofu dishes but hated going through reams of paper towels and creating a mess on the counter whenever I had to press out the water. This tool is simple and gets the job done without any mess. Highly recommend!

Sturdy and well made
This press is very sturdy, easy to clean and fairly easy to use. You do have to slide the top on so that it fits in the grooves at the sides, which takes a little practice to get it right. The press does an excellent job of pressing the tofu and much better than the makeshift way that I have been doing it. I also like it that you can put the press in the fridge overnight and have it ready to go the next day.

Good for Even in Korean cucumber salad
Before making cucumber salad, one of the Korean dishes, put 1 spoon of salt and sugar in a 1:1 ratio into 5 pickled cucumbers and marinate for 15 minutes, then put them in this product. After that, press down as instructed in the product manual and drain the water 5-6 times. If you don’t drain the water, the water will rise back up. After 20-30 minutes, open the lid, turn the container upside down, and take out the ingredients without taking them out. After that, add sugar and vinegar to the kimchi seasoning and you have a delicious cucumber salad. It’s also delicious if you do the same with radish. This product has a good price and good performance~~

Great product!
Love this tofu press.My family recently started trying out some tofu recipes and after using the paper towel /press method, we wanted something with a bit less waste.We were originally put off by the price and decided looked at some cheaper options, but we kept coming back to this.I could not be more happy with this purchase!This press does a great job at draining liquid quickly and is definitely more effective (and lest wasteful) than paper towels.I love that the pieces are all dishwasher safe and come apart for easy cleaning (even the spring!).My only complaint is that area that holds the water could be a tad bigger, as you have to drain it more than once to make sure the tofu doesn’t sit in any liquid.I also wish that the area that drains the liquid, didn’t have to pass any of the tofu, but those are tiny inconveniences compared to how well this works and how much time it saves compared to other methods

Great tofu press
This press works magic. No more paper towels, hand towels and stack of plates to press the moisture out of tofu! Simply put the tofu in the press in between the two plastic layers, put the lid on, twist and press. The tofu will get the water all pressed out and you just pour it out. This is way easier then the old method of towels and heavy objects on top to press out your tofu. Loving it!

Util y práctico para prensar y escurrir el tofu, cuenta con 2 niveles de fuerza para el prensado, solo recomiendo probar ambos niveles para que no se haga pedazos el tofu ya que la firmeza depende mucho de la marca

A must-have for anyone who wants to add tofu to their regular menu roster. Presses tofu beautifully, easy to use, easy to drain, easy to clean, durable. It’s advertised as being for firm or extra-firm tofu, but I use it regularly for medium firm as well, and it works like a charm. I use mine several times a week, and I’ve never had a problem with preparing and cooking tofu since I got it. Very happy.

Zo blij met dit apparaatje. Ik heb nog nooit zulke geperste tofu gehad. Makkelijk in gebruik, schoonmaak en onderhoud. Game changer!

Ich hab die Presse gleich mal ausprobiert nachdem sie ankam. Sie funktioniert wunderbar und macht auch den Eindruck dass sie das noch lange durchhält. Der Druck wird durch eine starke Stahlfeder ausgeübt und nach recht kurzer Zeit ist der Tofu ausgepresst. Ich hab es erst einmal mit einem handelsüblichen 200-Gramm-Stück vom Aldi ausprobiert (es passen auch zwei rein). Der Unterschied beim Anbraten des zerkleinerten Tofus war enorm. Ich hab erst mal vermutet dass irgendetwas kaputt wäre weil das übliche Spritzen, selbst auf höchster Stufe am Herd, ausblieb. Aber es war ja auch das erste Mal dass ich den Tofu gepresst hatte. Aber dann war klar dass es daran lag dass er trockener war.Also: alles wie beschrieben 👍🏻Ach ja, ich habe mir bewusst ein Gerät mit Stahlfeder gekauft. Bei den Geräten, bei denen der Druck über Gummizug erzeugt wird, hab ich den Verdacht dass eben dieser Gummi nicht so lange hält. Und bei denen mit Schrauben muss man nach einer Weile dieselben nachziehen, das heißt ein Schritt mehr den man machen muss, vielleicht sogar mehrmals.

Read that a gizmo was the best way to get the excess water out of tofu. This came top rated. Note it takes max 400g blocks. I use firm tofu and it can take the pressure. Relatively easy to use the coil spring and the water that comes out via the mini spout was surprising. Comes with mini recipe suggestions.Not cheap but worth paying for TofuBud to get the results you want for decent tofu.
