Instructions: Drain tofu. Cut in half horizontally to make 2 pieces. Line baking sheet with 5 layers of paper towels. Place tofu on towels; cover with additional towel or layer of paper towels. Place second baking sheet on top of tofu. Place heavy weights (canned goods, cast-iron skillet, bottled water) on top of baking sheet. Allow to sit 1 hour or longer (refrigerate if longer than 1 hour.)

Unwrap tofu; remove towels. Tofu is ready to be marinated in bottled marinade, dry seasoning mix, barbecue sauce, a sauce of your own invention or the marinades that follow. Marinate tofu for at least 15 minutes unrefrigerated or up to 5 days, refrigerated.

Bake at 400 degrees on lightly oiled baking sheet for 1 hour. The tofu is now ready to be cubed for use in salads, stir fries or stews, sliced thin for use as a sandwich filling; or can be grilled as cutlets.
