I've been really happy with my Xpress and use it twice or three times a week. Finding out that it could be used for tofu making was an added bonus. I didn't know that whey was good for washing hair either, perhaps I'll hang onto it next time!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-74499096357285660372012-10-31T21:16:13.323+11:002012-10-31T21:16:13.323+11:00Thanks, it was a great recipe at the end for all o...Thanks, it was a great recipe at the end for all of the hard work that went into making the tofu.

The tofu had a nice firm texture that I was happy with, I did wonder how it would have turned out without the extra coagulant. It was definitely nicer than store bought tofu. I looked up the FAQs on the Tofu Xpress website to see if there was any information about making tofu which is where I found the information about the lighter tension spring, prior to that I had no idea either.

Finding the right coagulent has been a problem for me - though I was recommended something that you can get at the chemist but still haven't chased it up - I think I need an x-press too. and fresh tofu really does taste amazing too (plus the whey is great for washing your hair) Will be interested to hear how you use the okaraJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-26850788064084917832012-10-29T08:54:11.014+11:002012-10-29T08:54:11.014+11:00That's really cool!

I was halfway there! Did you notice a different texture/flavor difference? Did you think fresher was better or just different? I didn't realize that the Tofu Xpress with a lighter tension spring could be used to make tofu.
