Do you drain it first or freeze it in the water?

Thanks!

Definately drain it first. Pressing it would be ok too, but I usually don't. I also like to slice my block in slices and wrap those slices individually in foil so I have "single serving sizes" of tofu whenever I want.

Why do you drain it?

 

[4EverGrounded]

Because if you don't, it's a BIGGER pain in the wazoo to thaw out.

very true!

That's also why I slice it up before freezing, too. It's much easier to thaw a slice or two than it is to thaw a whole solid frozen-up block.

I drain it and put it in a ziploc bag.

I drain it and press it (but just for a minute, not for hours). It gives it a better texture for certain things.

I drain, slice, and freeze.

I made an easy photo tutorial on how to freeze tofu.
