And the handle is 15" long.The shipping carton is: 12" x 14" x 16".The pressable volume inside the unit is: 7.5" x 4.5" x 4". **Q: Is the wood of this press made from untreated wood that is safe for food use? No chemical treatments in the curing of the wood?** A: The wood used is select Eastern white pine for the press body, poplar for the handle and douglas fir for the plunger. All wood has been kiln dried. It has no chemical treatments for preserving or enhancing appearance. I use only Titlebond III glue in assembly that is FDA approved for food contact. Once assembled the unit is hand rubbed with pure walnut oil that has been heat treated to break down allergens in the oil. **Q: I'm traveling in USA, & I want to know if the sticks of the side are removable & if fits in a baggage? only taking the sticks away, many thanks!!!** A: The long stick on top is removable. I think for a standard rolling carry-on, it will take up about 33% of the space. **Q: Can you use less soymilk and make smaller loaves in this press? Has anyone tried using organic unsweetened soymilk and if so how were the results?** A: You can use less soymilk for smaller loaves, but you'll need to put some extra leverage on top of the press plate to get the right leverage (handle only goes down so far, doesn't accommodate squeezing small loaves). I've done this with some wood shims and it's worked great. As far as unsweetened soymilk, that's all that I use. I do the whole process, from the dried organic soybeans to the tofu, and don't use any sweeteners. It works perfect! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars The best press *by D***G on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2015* This is the best tofu press. You can make perfect blocks of tofu with this. It took me a while to learn how to coagulate the soymilk, I wasn't adding enough nigari. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Buy Once and Use for a Lifetime! *by S***Z on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2013* This will be the one and only press you will ever have to buy in a lifetime (provided you take care of it). I purchased this directly from Earth First. The owner was very nice with his e-mails, comments and shipping.The Press is a bit intimidating at first glance but you will become very familiar with its operation quickly. It is well made and certainly large enough to do more than the piddly one pound loaves most Tofu presses turn out, which is a good thing. If you eat a lot of Tofu then you are not going to want to go through the prep time every time you turn around so make larger batches and freeze some of it (changes the texture to be more like ground round which can be a good thing in some dishes). This Press will press up to four pounds of soy milk curd at once turning out a perfect loaf after just 15 minutes in the press. Of course you have to do all the preliminary work before you get to pressing but this Press is very easy to use and extremely efficient. I will admit it took me two batches of Tofu to get it right. The first go at making the Tofu using soy milk made by my soy milk maker, cooked, used lemon juice rather than the Nigari and pressed the living life out of it - ouch! I wound up with a sheet of Tofu about the size of a crepe pancake! What a disaster! Old beans, not enough soy milk that was rich with protein and of course I way over pressed!My second batch I used 2 cups fresh organic beans, rather than ones I had sitting around for several years in sealed jars. Went through all the necessary steps of grinding soaked beans in my Vitamix, cooking mash on the stove, pouring cooked mash through an old clean t-shirt (worked just great) and then milk added back to the pot to cook lightly again, adding Nigari this time and viola - soy milk curds! What a great feeling to see this happen. Took me a while and a number of pots and pans, cookbooks and web searches to get the Nigari amount worked out correctly (2-1/2 tsp diluted in approx. 1 cup water) for the larger batch of soy beans I had decided to soak but it worked beautifully. After ladling the curds into the press it was about 15 minutes before I had a beautiful, approx. 1-1/2 lb) Tofu loaf. I have also decided a couple of methods that might short circuit some of the steps. Since I have a Vitamix, I plan to try grinding and heating/cooking, a necessary step to make the soy digestible, right in the blender in batches for the first step rather than the cooking twice in a big pot. Then I will pour through muslin/t-shirt/butter cloth to extract all the soy milk from the beans and when all is drained I will cook the required amount of time on the stove, adding the Nigari as directed and see how that works - no more double cooking and heating.Here are a couple of suggestions about the press. It says in the literature, which btw is detailed, to wash well with soap and water your Press. Did that, but I did not oil the press afterwards since I went directly to using it to press my first batch. DON'T DO THAT! Wash it well, dry it completely for at least a day and then oil thoroughly with a food safe oil like mineral oil. If you don't do this you will get a woody pine taste in your soy (first batch I made). After the first batch I washed well again, let dry and then soaked all surfaces with the mineral oil and let sit in a 9" x 13" casserole for several days before I wiped it down. Absolutely NO woody pine taste in my second batch of Tofu - hooray!Read and follow all instructions that come with the Press. You can decide about the use of lemon, vinegar or Nigari in your Tofu at a later date but I would recommend that you use the freshest beans, Nigari (which comes in the kit), good quality water and PATIENCE for your first batch. After your first batch of soy curds/pressing then you'll know what to expect and can move on to doing other exotic things with your Tofu if you so choose.I love the Press and would recommend it highly. Support a small business owner and help him to survive and thrive. Pass on the word. Buy once and use for a lifetime! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great press - extra tips on making tofu extra firm *by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2014* This is a great item and very easy to use. It takes a little effort at first to see how to use it, but the instructions are comprehensive and it's better the second time around. I've made multiple blocks of tofu since I've bought it and all have been great, much better than store-bought. I'd recommend leaving the tofu in the press for at least a few hours to get the maximum water drainage.I'd definitely recommend this press to anyone who likes tofu and likes to have more of the food-making processes controlled in their home. In the long-run, it's cost effective too. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that I wish there was a way to exert more pressure. I like tofu to be firm or extra firm and the set-up doesn't seem to achieve that without modification. I've been able to put a small piece of wood on top of the lid to change the pressure angle/exertion to get more of the water out, as well as tie the bands tighter. However, once the tofu block gets to the point where the lever handle is hitting the main frame, it won't be able to be squeezed anymore without additions to raise the level of the lever again. Not really a big deal if you like your tofu less firm and not a big hassle to work around, but something that you should keep in mind if you're trying to achieve a very firm block. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/77970417-tofu-press-kit-hand-crafted-tofu-making-press-kit-sustainable](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/77970417-tofu-press-kit-hand-crafted-tofu-making-press-kit-sustainable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
