While I do not eat a large amount of tofu, I feel as though I waste a lot of paper towels when I am pressing it. I could use dish towels, but since I live in the city and don’t have a washer or dryer in my apartment, it’s not a great choice either.
After an amazing person noticed my troubles, I got a press as a gift!! Now, it’s not your regular tofu press, but a pickle press. I have not had a chance to brush up on Japanese, but I hear that this is the language written on the front of the box. I haven’t used a tofu press, but I 
would image that this works just as good and it’s a bit cheaper than the “real thing.”
Just place the tofu in the middle of the press, screw down as much as desired to get the water out and voila pressed tofu. Well, I actually tilt it on its side so that the liquid collects for easy disposal, but it’s just as easy!
We haven't made any pickles with the glut of cucumbers we have gotten this season from our roof, but if we do, I certainly know how to press them!!
