great pickle press
this is a great small size vegetable press. i put it in the dishwasher and there is no damage. its almost big enough to put a block of tofu in to press, but i always have to break off a peice and put it on top. then turned upside down will drain the tofu well. its great for making tsukemono, because most of the time you want enough for just a couple of servings and not a large quantity.
VERY HANDY
Nice size for one or two. I have a much larger press, but really did not use it much as I am alone now. Perfect for making up some pickles daily. Seems a little pricey for it's simplicity, but.....
I really like it.
I'm using it for the first time to lacto-ferment greens grown in the garden. I mashed up a bunch of crossed tatsoi greens with salt (3 tbsp per 5 lbs as per wildfermentation.com's recommendation, so that only came out to about 1-1/2 tsp. for the amount that fits in this Tsukemono press). I tasted and it seemed too salty so added MORE greens, had to really force the lid down, but it caught and held. Anyway, the greens did produce enough liquid to cover, and the spring in this press keeps the greens down below the liquid, and if I tilt the press, green liquid spills out from under the top, so that means gasses can escape. Perfect. For the amount of lacto-fermented greens I and MAYBE hubby can eat, this is a good size. And inexpensive. If you put it in your cart under "hold for later," next time you order something over $25, you can order this too.
