Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Gourmet Food Press
Customer Review: Good, but could be better in many ways
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this press when it was advertised in VegNEWS magazine as soon as I saw it last year. It's very expensive for what it is, but it does make pressing tofu a much easier task and it can press it pretty dry. Because it's just plastic and a spring, I really wish it were big enough to press two blocks of tofu for the price. We use it every day and it's done the best it can do. It would press faster if it were a little bit bigger or had some drainage holes in the sides. After a year the spring mechanism broke into pieces and now the top indeed *is* two pieces. The little plastic parts that held the spring in place have broken out. So, expect that it will break eventually, depending on how often you use it. It is designed to twist and lock under two plastic holding pieces. I was always afraid one of these would crack off. We still use it, but I'd like one that's not broken. I don't know if I got a better deal because it was advertised in VegNEWS magazine, but I think I paid $35 and I don't remember if I paid shipping, but I probably did. If the press became non-functional, I wouldn't buy another one. It's just too expensive for what it is, and the lid is pointless. I've never ever used it. The press is not big enough for marinating a block of tofu, so why bother? You don't marinate pressed tofu anyway. You marinate it before you press it. As I said, the lid is pointless. My spring is also starting to deteriorate. It's not smooth like when I first got it, and I worry just a little bit about what it's made of. I always wash it by hand and towel dry it.
Positives:
It presses tofu very well.
Negatives:
It's plastic
Cheaply constructed
It WILL break
The box is not big enough for marinating
VERY EXPENSIVE (and being vegan is already expensive enough)
I'm hoping some other kitchen tool companies come out with a tofu press to give this company some competition. I'm going to write to OXO and Williams Sonoma to suggest they do just that. They will probably also offer lifetime guarantees, I'm betting, like they do with their other products.
