There are other more technical products on the market, but this press looks great and works well
Seems like a nice tofu press but much smaller than I had expected
And the kit includes a tough 'pressing' cloth of natural fiber, no additives, in a weave/weight, that is bloody hard to find in fabric stores these days.

I have a small kitchen with limited suppplies, and hadn’t a clue I’d need to make several to many batches of soy milk to get a good size brick, and coagulate in a massive kettle
This size is good to make enough for one or two people.
I will definitely be using this set and even if you find a better way, this little set is fantastic for someone starting out and I expect to use it a lot
Some people said they have trouble finding a good way to "weight" the top down.
This is a very simple, easy way to create your own tofu at home.
but this is what I did:soaked 1 cup of beans over nightSkinned them by hand (this is the most time consuming part so far, but you can skip it or I'm going to look for an easier way)puree in blender or food processor with watercooked the bean soup in boiling waterstrained through cheese cloth (some other stuff I had, Amazon has that cheap, too)recook to warm and add the nigari in 3 batches, then let it rest

Beautiful item, well made and it works just as expected.
every couple minutes to straighten the top out a little (since your tofu will be slightly uneven if you don't).The Nigari and the cloth that come with this also work as expected.

Upon further investigation, the nigari was all wet and oozing sticky liquid of some sort.
The nigari that came with the unit is inferior in my opinion, and I threw it out.

the bag should be disregarded as nigari is naturally hydrophilic (it attracts moisture.)
The nigari we received with ours was a bit on the wet side but works well
