Bamboo is strong, lightweight, water resistant, odor resistant, and nonporous, making it ideal for the kitchen. Our bamboo tofu box is an environmental, food safe choice. Crafted to Last Our tofu box is constructed with attractive dovetail joints for extra durability. This adds powerful tensile strength and displays the beautiful natural grain of bamboo. All-Natural Nigari We include a generous 0.5 pound our own all-natural nigari, which will coagulate up to 100 lbs of tofu. We source our nigari (magnesium chloride) from the remote Cha’erhan salt lake, formed millions of years ago on Tibetan highlands. Cha’erhan nigari is free of the pollutants and radiation found in modern seawater nigari, ensuring the top quality and taste for your tofu. Fresh, Delicious Tofu Made Easy Our intuitively designed, large capacity tofu box makes tofu-making simple. Prepare to taste the freshest, most flavorful tofu made right at home! Review: Homemade tofu: outstandingly delicious. This is a great starter set for a beginner! - I'm going to write this as a novice, just starting to make tofu and what I wanted to know when shopping around, never having made tofu and not knowing anything. If that is where you are at, then this is for you. I have made tofu only twice with this, but even though it's a bit of work, I feel very excited to make more with this set and feel its a great investment and will give confidence to a novice. Does this set work? Yes! Is there a bit of a learning curve? Yes. Any well-crafted food that is unlike something you've made takes some practice. But on what will be my 3rd batch of tofu, I feel confident all the work will pay off and I will be enjoying yummy tofu. Mine was not as smooth and perfect looking as store bought tofu but the taste was far superior. It is several steps but you can really taste the care, love and depth in the tofu and see why people love tofu, vegetarians and meat eaters, alike. The tofu press is solidly built, a nice bamboo (a more hygienic and durable wood for water, I believe) and seems really well made for the price. I didn't get funky cheese cloth, so it seems they fixed that issue. It seems a bit thick, but there is probably a reason for it. The nigari seems very high quality and reliable. It has gotten a little moist in a couple spots in the humid weather, but I don't think it's a problem. If you have natural sea salts, you see that in them, too. Maybe storing it in air tight container would help. My tofu coagulated right away with this nigari, so it does what it should without even being ify about it like some products out there. It is a big bag for the amount you need so you're set for awhile. There are various videos and recipes online. I suggest watching a few videos to get a feel for it. The process I used is from "Asian Tofu: Discover the Best, Make Your Own, and Cook It at Home by Andrea Nguyen" because she has worked hard to figure out how to make great food at home and I love her books. You can start a couple different ways with ready made soy milk but I started with dried soybeans. Andrea Nguyen suggests -and this seller has - Laura soybeans, they're non-GMO. I would love to have organic non-GMO beans from Japan, but not going to happen anytime soon. Laura sells their beans to tofu shops in Japan, so you are pretty well assured an outstanding product. I agree, as a novice, of course. You can order direct or get a 5 lb bag of Laura soybeans with your desertcart order and you have what you need to make tofu! I am a typical American who loves everything fried or browned and the texture of uncooked tofu has never appealed to me. But with this tofu maker, I feel like I want to eat it uncooked. The taste is really so much better, so that says something. People who enjoy tofu and don't mind fussing a bit in the kitchen will adore homemade tofu. It really is a special treat. There are lots of recipes out there but this is what I did: soaked 1 cup of beans over night Skinned 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 water cooked the bean soup in boiling water strained through cheese cloth (some other stuff I had, desertcart has that cheap, too) recook to warm and add the nigari in 3 batches, then let it rest. Pour in the tofu press and let sit about 15 minutes. let it rest a bit to get flavor. There you have wonderful tofu! My first batch was badly concave because I wasn't careful with the cheesecloth in the mold and didn't place it evenly. Remember, you're shaping it so make sure the cloth and top is even. The second batch, I didn't try to get all four sides of the thick cloth flaps under the press top. I used a can of coconut milk to press and checked it was still in there as flat as it could be. I love age dashi (fried) tofu made with silken/soft tofu. Andrea N suggests using gypsum rather than nigari for silken, but she says you can use nigari and if you look around, you can probably find people who say it's best. Like anything, there are different ways to do it. I just ordered gypsum and this great seller also has it. 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! Thank you to the seller, previous reviewers and to everyone who posted videos and the book. Review: Very sturdy and functional - I hesitated to buy this wooden tofu form because of concerns about how well the wood would hold up but really liked the natural material (I try to avoid buying plastic) and the traditional look of it. I'm really glad that I did because it is perfect. It's really well made and makes a perfect block of tofu. It seems like it will last many years if not forever. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 334 Reviews | ## Images ![Soyajoy Premium Total Tofu Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RlgiSSxpL.jpg) ![Soyajoy Premium Total Tofu Kit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31F+Fku+FPL.jpg) ![Soyajoy Premium Total Tofu Kit - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41FTgUIx9QL.jpg) ![Soyajoy Premium Total Tofu Kit - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51oUkiNMaNL.jpg) ![Soyajoy Premium Total Tofu Kit - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21Sao7yqXvL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where is this kit manufactured (country of origin)?** A: There is nothing printed on the tofu maker itself and as I recall, it wasn't packaged in a box when I ordered mine a year ago. It was in a tied plastic bag. So I don't know exactly where it is manufactured, I checked the Soyajoy website too and it doesn't include this in the product information. Sorry I can't be of anymore help. **Q: what type of tofu does it make: firm, silken, extra firm?** A: The kit comes with a 1# package of nigari which makes a somewhat firm textured tofu. The more you add to your soymilk, the firmer it will become. I've learned to play with it a little by experimenting. The longer you press your tofu, the firmer it will become. I haven't managed to obtain a silken texture yet but I don't think that kind is pressed, or at least very minimally. The wooden mold in this kit makes a fairly large brick. **Q: Could someone tell me what the dimensions of the pressing cloth are?** A: Mine came with a pressing cloth, (linen). It measures 14" x 22". **Q: The wood is glued together?** A: The box are held up by the duck tail design. Glue are applied to the duck tails as a second retention measure. Stainless nails are used for the cover where duck tail design is not applicable. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Homemade tofu: outstandingly delicious.

I'm really glad that I did because it is perfect. It's really well made and makes a perfect block of tofu. It seems like it will last many years if not forever. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what it's supposed to be *by T***R on January 3, 2014* First, let me say that this is a great product that does exactly what it says and as I expected. With that said, there are only a few things I wish would be different or better. I guess both issues can be related to each other also. Both issues are more because I didn't think about it ahead of time. First is I wish it was bigger. When I make tofu, I try to make a good amount of it. Although tofu is not hard to make, it does take some time. This size is good to make enough for one or two people. With me, I make it for my whole family usually, meaning a lot more than 1 or 2 people. Second gripe, which again is kind of related to the first, is that it's hard for me to find something heavy enough and yet small enough to use as a weight to press down the tofu. I realize that this is more of a personal problem, but I doubt that I am the only one who has or will have this problem. I usually use a wine bottle, which I find is not heavy enough to make a firmer tofu, but even this is hard to place on top because of how the top is made. It has the two wood pieces on top going across the cover and this makes it hard to balance anything on it. Would be perfect if it had some sort of "vise-like" contraption to press down the tofu. I end up pressing it down as hard as I can with my own man-muscles and then putting the wine bottle on top to try to keep it down. If the box was bigger, it would be easier to put something that is heavy and something that will fit the top without having it be a balancing act. But like I said, it's a great product. Simple yet useful tool. The nigari included is awesome and works great. This is a definite buy for anyone who wants to make their own tofu, just know the limitations I have said. ## Frequently Bought Together - Soyajoy Premium Total Tofu Kit - Soymerica Non-GMO Soybeans - 7 Lbs.
