Can this press be used with silken tofu?

No. While you could put silken tofu in here and squash it, silken tofu doesn't press well regardless of the method. (In my experience.)

Generally, the 800CPXL Die-Cast Citrus Press is designed for use strictly with citrus fruits. It is not recommended to be used in conjunction with non-citrus fruits, such as pomegranates.

Well, you can use the soy milk made by this to make Tofu which requires other procedures and ingredient. This maker can only make soy milk.

Other than the price, I have no idea. I doubt the extra two springs above the top plate make any difference in the efficiency of the press and probably make it a little more complicated to get the tension you want on the block of tofu.

Not at all! By turning the screws on each side, the upper plate is lowered and tightened against the tofu. You can tighten it as much or as little as you like. It super easy to use and the tofu is pressed in only 10-15 minutes. And it's very easy to clean. I wash mine by hand.

I don't see why not, though I have never used it for that. I would probably recommend a slightly beefier press if you have any doubts. I KNOW the Lee Challenger Press will work for what you need.

This press is good for both making tofu from scratch and for pressing blocks of tofu: http://www.earthfirstinnovations.com/tm1202-tofu-maker.html

I buy tofu and I use the press to make the tofu a different texture. Removing the water makes it dense. To make tofu I believe you would start with soybeans.

Yes, absolutely... here is how we recommend brewing hot tea as a tea press. ~ Clean off coffee residues from mesh filter, if significant amount consider a vinegar & water mixture. ~ Prepare amount of water needed for the cups of tea going to be poured as soon as the first steep of tea is complete. ~ Add 1 teaspoon of your favorite tea leaf per 8 ounces of water used. If stronger flavor is desired, add more tea, not time. ~ Lower plunger halfway to bottom. The idea is not to compress but to use the plunger as a sieve. Compressing tea leaves may produce bitter results. ~ Pour off all tea. Don't leave any tea steeping in water for an extended period of time. ~ Re-steep tea leaves as many times as you find they produce a tasty cup. ~ For more information about how to steep your favorite teas Check Out our Tea Chart Here &gt;&gt; http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81VVQ1GtR8L._SL1500_.jpg Hope this helps, Team Idylc Homes

The garlic press is really heavy duty, so it might, but I haven't tried it. Thanks for the idea, will try next time I need minced gingerroot..

How hot does it get making tofu. I was hoping for something to make yogurt in.

yes, if the tofu piece is thick enough.The fish basket works well, but make sure that you spray a non stick coating prior to grilling.

There are no springs. It's a simple butterfly screw and threaded metal rod setup. The only way to adjust the distance between the plates to press the Tofu harder is to shorten the distance between plates by tightening the screws.

Yes if you do not put more than 1 large clove in at a time otherwise the handles are pretty far apart. I love this press because it is very well made and very easy to clean unlike others I have had. It also seems to waste less garlic.

Bodum makes a complete line of tea making products that includes tea presses. I might suggest you contact their support center on their website Bodum.com.

No, its just a press. You will need to do that by hand or buy a destemmer/crusher.

I would say yes. We have made paninis and cooked meats of varying thicknesses and the top of the press can "adjust" to appropriately "sandwich" whatever we are cooking.
