Drain the tofu and cut it into 4 equal slabs, each about 3/4 inch thick. Lay the slabs on a baking sheet lined with a double layer of paper towels, top with more paper towels, and set a second baking sheet on top. Press for 30 minutes, until the tofu feels noticeably firmer and the paper towels are damp.
