How do I press tofu for use in a recipe?

Pressing Tofu

To press tofu, and remove excess water, remove the tofu from the package and place it on a dinner plate. Place another plate of equal size over the tofu, and weight it down with 2-3 cans or other similar weight. Press the tofu for about 15-20 minutes. Discard the liquid and proceed with your recipe.
