    As dumb as it sounds, I bought a tofu press like a year ago and have gotten a ton of use out of it. I know you can just use plates and cans to weigh it down but having this one “single use kitchen gadget” has actually been really useful. I just toss a block in and snap on the rubber band things and press down the side arm things and forget about it. I set it next to my coffee maker by my sink so when I go get another cup of coffee I remind myself to drain the water.

    It’s not even fancy, just like a cheap plastic one that cost me like $10.

    E: I suppose this is habit adjacent.

        I hate consumerism and try not to sell things to people, but seriously, if you are gonna be pressing tofu, get a tofu press. It really is one of the most used tool in my kitchen, like right behind my dutch oven and rice cooker.
