Honestly, I bought myself a tofu press and I use it so often...it really does make pressing tofu easier.

u/Ommnomnomnom · 9 pointsr/vegan

I had the EZ tofu press for a while and then I upgraded to this one

Tofuture- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01698J0RU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_AsrqDb9Y5TGHK

I like it more because the tofu water gets squeezed into its own little compartment instead of just out the sides.

u/DiscreteChi · 5 pointsr/vegan

I got a Tofu Press after somebody recommended them recently. There are cheaper models but this one comes with a compact way to collect the unwanted water.

Had my first tofu meal from it the other day after leaving it to press in the fridge overnight and it crisped up really nice after frying. I just need to learn how to season it now!

On the topic of ramen. If there's any UK supermarkets supply chain staff reading this sub for ideas about what to acquire. I'm interested in miso paste and nutritional yeast. Using veggie stock and yeast extract to add the savory flavour to sauces gets a little dull when compared to my old meat eating chicken/lamb/beef/pork/etc stock options.

u/pocketsloths · 5 pointsr/vegan

I have one! This one to be exact! I really recommend it if you like the convenience/eat a bit of tofu. It does take more time than using books but no more paper towels/towels. It's easy to clean and I never have to worry about my Harry Potter books falling off the counter.

u/aliasesarestupid · 5 pointsr/MTB
  1. I'd replace that plastic strip with actual tape. I'd recommend gorilla tape. Carefully apply it around the perimeter of the rim then poke a small hole for a valve stem to fit through. Leave room for the tire bead to fit around the inner wall of the rim.

  2. Is your rim drilled for presta or schrader valves? If it's presta then buy a presta valve stem, or if it's drilled for schrader, then buy a schrader valve stem. Your alternative is to do "ghetto tubeless" by cutting the stem out of a tube and using that as a stem instead.

  3. Get a pair of tubeless ready tires. If you are on a budget, I'd recommend these. They've never had a problem seating for me and are very good tires for the money on my 29er. If they have difficulty seating on your rim, try spraying the bead with soapy water. You must use compressed air to seat the bead.

  4. Yes use sealant, I'd recommend Stan's. The bottle provides the amount recommended.
u/lol_alex · 5 pointsr/MTB

The short answer is: It depends.

Any rim can be sealed off at the spoke holes with rim tape if you clean it thoroughly and use the right width of tape.

The tricky part is how well the tire will seat at the bead. Stan's Rims and Spank are two rim manufacturers that I know take extra care with this area (and I think simply use a slightly larger diameter at this critical point) so that tires will seal well without much latex milk being needed to help.

You can do a simple test on the cheap. Buy the 3M equivalent of Stan's expensive rim tape like this one and buy or borrow a tubeless valve like this one. Put your existing tire on without a tube, using just a little bit of soapy water. If it pops in and inflates, you're good to go.

Maybe someone has experience with your rim type. I swear by tubeless, and so far have tried on Stan's Flow and FlowEX, Spank Spike 35 and Oozy Trail 345, and a couple of sets of made in China carbon rims, and it has always worked well.

The much bigger issue IMO is the type of tire. Schwalbe was the company that started with the "tubeless ready" slogan, which I guess involves having a little more rubber on the bead to help with sealing, Conti used to be stupidly difficult but have also improved especially with the Apex sidewall, Maxxis always worked well. These are the ones I have personally tried.

u/TheOnlyCaveat · 5 pointsr/running

My Vega Sport vanilla protein powder ran out, so I decided to try the chocolate one this time. Pretty disappointed.

I have been vegan for almost two years and FINALLY got an actual tofu press. You guys, what the hell took me so long? In all the vegan food blogs I've read, they act like it's not a big deal, and you can just wrap it in a tea towel and smoosh it under a heavy pan and it will be the same as using a press. This is just WRONG. If you eat tofu, get a fucking tofu press. I have this one and can recommend it, although I'm going to need to buy a second because I'm cooking for four people and one block of tofu is generally not enough.

Also, just got a new cook book that I am LOVING, so I thought I would share: America's Test Kitchen: Vegan for Everybody

My favorite thing is press it and then fry it on medium heat with equal parts rice wine vinegar and soy sauce. It's not 100% WFPB but there's no oil and the sugar in the rice wine vinegar is pretty minimal if you don't use a ton.

If you want it more crispy, bake it in the oven. You can then use it immediately for hot dishes or let it cool and toss it into a salad.

If you get soft tofu you can cut it (no pressing needed) and toss it into miso soup broth.

A lot of people make tofu scramble (kind of like scrambled eggs) but I haven't personally tried it yet.

Sometimes when I'm craving something crispy I'll press it, toss it in cornstarch and fry it in oil. Obviously not WFPB approved but it's my occasional treat.

Edit: a tofu press isn't necessary but totally worth it if you plan to eat tofu often. I have this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01698J0RU/ref=sxts_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504284431&sr=1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65

u/tepidviolet · 3 pointsr/GirlGamers

Wow. That Home Depot stuff. Ugh.

I mean . . . I use tools fairly regularly. And assuming I can get equal functionality, I will definitely consider aesthetics. Even most guys, at least those who take care of their tools, appreciate well-made and good-looking tools. They just have a different sense of aesthetics, usually.

And I like pretty tools, even? Like some tools are actually brightly colored and attractive as a design element. Like high-end L wrench sets sometimes have different colors to help you differentiate different sizes at a glance. Something like this set from Wera. If I didn't already have a quality set, I'd definitely buy that instead because Wera is a great brand, and those are cute.

This will sound dumb, but I even own one or two tools that I never used because they're cute enough that I just like to look at them.

I think what annoys me here is that this was obviously designed by dudes with a Pink It And Shrink It design philosophy, which I hate more than anything. Lacking any real sense of aesthetics, they just decided that what women really need is to be penned into a box of Barbie-like hyperfemininty by men. I sometimes like pink things, and I sometimes like stereotypically feminine things, but I don't like it when it's men shoving ugly, patronizing, pink merch down my throat. Like here, buy my crap to validate your femininity. Sorry, bro, I'm not that insecure! I'm not a man.

That stuff looks like garbage, too. Part of the reason I hate Pink It And Shrink It design is that . . . they don't even shrink it. They don't do anything. Almost as a rule, "women's specific design," is a lie, and companies do little or nothing to design gear that takes into account the ergonomic needs of women. Like for tools, women have smaller hands on average, and certain tools would really benefit from being a little smaller for women. But they wouldn't do that because we're an afterthought. They just take their dude's gear, do a shitty recolor job, and then sell it at a premium, resulting in kit that's often both /worse/ and /sold at a mark-up/.

u/greatwizardhoney · 3 pointsr/vegetarian

Tofu press!! Like this one . Works way better than paper towels with none of the waste.

Edit: scratch that first link the UK version is like £40!!! This one is more reasonably priced the only downside is that it presses less tofu at a time.

u/luctoretori · 3 pointsr/FixedGearBicycle

As someone who bought a Wabi after recently getting into bikes for commuting, buy a torque wrench and some good hex keys. Those rear wheel bolts will often slip if not properly torqued and unless you have quality tools, you will round the bolts like my Craftsman's did trying to get to that torque. The torque wrench will be useful if you ever install or reinstall some parts. After doing so without a torque wrench to tell me when to stop on the stem a few times, the face-plate was near catastrophic failure because I over-tightened the bolts and cracked the aluminum in several places. Almost every problem I've had with the bike has had to do with not knowing how tight something should be, and buying a torque wrench sooner could have saved me hundreds of dollars and so many hassles.

u/Independent · 3 pointsr/flyfishing

Probably heresy for this sub, but my favorite cheap disposable travel rod is a Daiwa Mini Spin. Load it up with some 2-4lb mono, put some clear casting bubbles, some nymphs, wetflies, grubs and some Roostertails in the case and leave it under your vehicle seat until that day you want to catch some small trout or some bluegills and don't have your better rods.

I had one of these for years back when I used to backpack and forgot how much I used to like it until it got gone. So, I ordered another. I like the size factor that will fit in a backpack, bicycle pannier or under a car seat without even noticing it. And I like the price. And screw the purists. I'll take fishing flies with a casting bubble over not fishing any day.

u/MattBooker · 2 pointsr/PlantBasedDiet

For recipes like this, I cut a block of pressed tofu into small cubes and bake it until it's a bit crispy, then mix it in once the rest of the dish is cooked.

I'd recommend getting a Tofuture press. It seems like it's a bit expensive, but it's way more convenient and thorough than just using a plate with heavy cans, or one of those presses where you turn a knob. Use firm or extra firm, dump out the liquid once after about ten minutes and then let it press over night and dump out the liquid again.

For baking, use a silicone mat.

I bake the tofu cubes at 400F for about 25-35 minutes (depending on the size of the cubes and the desired crispiness).

They'll be lightly crispy but still tender on the inside. There's no need to marinate them either, as they'll get coated in whatever sauce you've got in the dish you're adding them to.

u/MemoryEbeling · 2 pointsr/fountainpens

I get mine from Amazon, but I also use a lot of tubes. Instead of inking up my pens from bottles, I only use sample vials (or something like a TWSBi inkwell for my larger pens). It's a great way to avoid contamination of your ink. We live in a pretty moldy area, so I"m always concerned about fuzz on the pens syndrome.

Note: there are other types of tubes that are on eBay, but these cryotubes are by far the best. The other clear ones can't have 5ml unless you fill it to the brim, making a mess of things. These tubes are exactly like the ones sold on Goulet pens, only it has blue lids instead of clear.

You could continue with the theme and get him an air hose real that he can mount wherever and use like the extension chord one you got him like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GJ7NUYA/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1493340180&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=air+hose+reel&dpPl=1&dpID=51tVwNX4T5L&ref=plSrch . Just make sure you get the reel, hose, and necessary fittings for everything. I'll keep looking to see what all is necessary. They are very handy. Edit-make sure it has a spring to retract itself automatically, tekton has one on amazon as well https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B010S8D8R0/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_469_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=CVQNCK0W3H7PN6THGA77&dpPl=1&dpID=71Iq-JdNsbL they most always have good reviews on their tools, it looks like it comes with everything he'll need. This needs a hose that goes from the compressor to the reel but I'm assuming he already has one. Read reviews and whatnot because I do not have much experience with these.

u/Tricker12345 · 2 pointsr/veganrecipes

It gets easier the more you do it! You can always change up what you're adding as well, it definitely doesn't have to be an exact science.

Liquid smoke is a concentrated liquid, you can get it from most grocery stores or somewhere like Amazon. I like it because it adds a little bit of smokiness / depth to the tofu.

If you're going to be eating tofu, you will definitely want a dedicated press. [This one](Tofu Press - a unique and stylish tofu press to transform your tofu by Tofuture https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01698J0RU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UZa3DbYMNSGMX) is my personal favorite. There are others out there that are good at getting rid of the liquid in the tofu, but they tend to smash it and change the shape. I like this one because it keeps everything together, while still squeezing out all the liquid. I've used it for almost a year now and I'll never switch to anything else personally, haha.

u/kylielapelirroja · 2 pointsr/veganfitness

I use these food service towels that are meant to be reused but they have a limited life span so they can be thrown away. And I put paper towels in between the food service towels and the tofu. It’s not as environmentally friendly, but I haven’t had moldy smelling tofu.

Also, there’s the tofu press that I SO desperately want.

u/NapGoddess · 2 pointsr/ShittyVeganFoodPorn

Yesss. I use my grill pan. Buying two tofu presses was the best decision I ever made. The ToFuture ones are great because after pressing you can marinate in the same container. I make two blocks at a time because it’s kind of a process and I like to have leftovers.

u/parisrosaries · 2 pointsr/1200isplentyketo

I don’t! I place firm tofu on a plate between two paper towels and then place a heavy pot on top. However I have seen this one recommended by vegan cook-related Youtubers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01698J0RU/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B01698J0RU&pd_rd_wg=oL1BZ&pd_rd_r=0MDQRS4BC4M9VHY7FXGQ&pd_rd_w=tMdS3

However, you should really only press firm tofu! Silken and soft tofus don't need and shouldn't be pressed because they would completely break apart.

Of these things, the OnZow is probably the most important, along with the Studebaker record cleaner. If you buy used records a cleaner is a MUST, and even new out of the wrapper records have crap on them. The OnZow gets the junk off your needle, which is a must.

AFTER those things are taken care of, cart or preamp. Both have the most immediate effect on the sound, presuming you are playing quality good condition records.

u/HedgehogKnits · 2 pointsr/fountainpens

I recommend this and these
It’s a set of vials and syringes. I would recommend getting a vial holder as well. That way, you have all the vials in one places and are not as likely to spill. The vials are nice because you can test small batch mixtures. Label the tops of the vials and keep a notebook. Rhodia is good or something else that can show off sheen. This way, you can more down the vial designation, the proportions, the inks used and what the resulting color looks like.

Another thing you would want to learn about is color therapy because a cool yellow mixed with a warm blue will give you a different green than a warm yellow mixed with a cool blue. Rot dye has a great mixing chart that is a wonderful resource for color mixing.

Beyond that, different inks interact and react in sometimes unexpected ways when mixed, which is another reason to have small vials to see what the reactions are and if the ink start to separate or do something else unusual.

u/BeardedAlbatross · 2 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

Yoga blocks do jack all for isolation. The neoprene is ok, but the compound that actually isolates is sorbothane. I'd get sorbothane and maybe put some saran wrap(or anything really) around it so it doesn't stain. Try it out without it though, unlikely you'll need it. If you notice something then get speaker stands.

If you were placing things on top of your subwoofers then yeah definitely place sorbothane or some of this stuff. Also, I put foam tape where picture frames come in contact with my walls since the rattling becomes really distracting.

I am gluten intolerant so I’m really thankful for Beyond Meat being the popular option as well. Especially for their plant based sausage and their chicken when cooked right.

Its really frustrating that the few unique vegan options around me feature seitan so I can’t eat it. Happy for others obviously, it just looks so good! 😭

Oh gosh, I hope it rises in popularity in Australia so it’ll be less expensive. I’m in the states so, its not too much. But I am trying to make better use of tofu as its really delicious. I like a redditor’s comparison of tofu with flour.

Mix it with the right ingredients and you have something amazing, you don’t eat it as is to get the most out of it. I read some people actually eat it raw, but I’m saving all of mine for the meal I’m making.

I was in a similar situation in the apartment I am in at the moment. I ended up making my own hang board instead of buying one. But as for mounting its relatively easy. I have the pull up bar below. https://www.amazon.com/Sagler-Pull-Doorway-Heavy-Trainer/dp/B07P583D8K

u/shredbot9000 · 1 pointr/veganfitness

I had the same dilemma for a long time! I highly recommend buying one, as it's so much more convenient. I recently got this tofu press, and it's been great!

My goto lately has been either tofu "eggs" or scramble, which I make by combining a seasoning mix to coat the outside of pressed, not previously frozen firm tofu. I just eyeball it, but it's mostly nutritional yeast, with a few dashes of turmeric, some onion and garlic powder, some ground mustard, salt, pepper, and about a Tbsp of corn starch mixed well. I just cut a hunk of tofu into four equal sized flat planks and coat them well and throw them in the skillet with veggie sausage, onions, peppers, sometimes vegan cheese, and always hot sauce. Super easy, and super tasty!

I considered Noctuas but Dell does this funky thing there they rewire the connections from the standard 3 pin connector and you’ll get a fan failure light and they won’t turn on if you don’t rewire it yourself. I just lacked the tools to do the rewiring so I opted for a Sunon kit which already had the proper connector and came with extenders (I’m not confident the fan cables would have been long enough on the Noctuas). A bit pricey but well worth it after installation. Ships pretty quick from California even without prime. I’m on the east coast and had them in 4 days.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XI478SW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_foxXDb3BG4KNE

Noctuas would have been cheaper for sure (I think they’re $15/ea or so, but if I needed to require the connectors I’d also need one of these so my options were $95 prime to do it myself, of $99 + shipping to buy what I knew would work plug-and-play.

I swear half my homelab experience has been buying stuff super cheap and then pouring more money than its worth into getting it working the way I want it. I guess you learn stuff doing these upgrades yourself though :)

u/57ashdot · 1 pointr/vegan

Tofu is pretty easy to put in everything if you know how to cook it and is a better source of protein than meat on a per oz basis. And it's inexpensive also, you can get a brick of tofu for like $2 and it contains +40g of protein and only like 360 calories. A cheap tofu press will pay for itself the first time you use it, only real requirement for cooking with tofu. I have this press and its really nice, because you can keep increasing the strength of the press as more water drains, and the water just sits in the basin on the bottom so there is no mess. The power towel and heavy object trick is tedious and I don't recommend it.

Personally, asian style tofu dishes are the fastest to make imo.

Press and cube the tofu, then toss it in corn starch. Put about maybe 1/4 cup of high heat oil (I use canola) in a pan and get it real hot, then fry the tofu. If the tofu looks dusty still, add a bit more oil. The outside of the tofu should be nice and golden and crispy when its done, takes about 4-6 minutes. Turn the heat off, and then put your favorite choice of sauce on, using the heat left in the pan to reduce the sauce. Eat. If you want to get fancy you can add rice or veggies like lightly steamed broccoli into the mix. Assuming you let the tofu press sit while you did other things, the actual prep & cook time is less than 20 minutes. The oil, sauce, and corn starch obviously add some calories.

Burritos with imitation Chipotle sofritas are also a fav of mine, but that takes more time and planning since beans are involved (please see my recent PSA of why you should never rush bean prep lol). You can cheat the intricate recipes for sofritas mix with straight up pulling the pressed tofu apart with forks, then mixing taco seasoning (I recommend medium or hot), some lime juice, a bit of black pepper, and a tiny bit of vinegar, a bit of water, then letting it simmer. It doesn't taste as legit, but requires WAY less time and ingredients.

Or if you are feeling real lazy and don't mind boring foods, quinoa and a bit of brown sugar go a long way also for good macro split meal that is also on the cheap.

Done right the MOS system is solid. There are a few things to know, though:

  1. Replace the provided screws with the Battlewerx RMR screw kit.
  2. Use the Trijicon sealing plate.
  3. Use Vibratite VC-3 instead of blue loctite.
  4. Use a torque wrench to tighten the screws to 12-14 in/lbs.
  5. Optionally, spring for the C&H Precision V3 optic plate

    The only reasons I see to have a Glock milled these days is if you want irons forward, are using an oddball optic or are already having mill work done.
