You just claimed it is pseudoscience, how can it be “inherently scientific”?

If price is the bottom line ordinary supermarkets and dollar stores are the places to go to first. After that cook with basic ingredients. I know people tend not to watch videos, but this video demonstrates cheap grocery shopping well: https://youtu.be/UUZuu3JPzXM?si=EXc67d6buEOcO6LN&t=306

By “draining it” I take that to mean cutting open the package and letting the water drain out. It is pricey, but I like using the TofuXPress tofu press. Very easy, I get a very meaty texture. I haven’t heard about salt water. I have heard about boiling tofu, but I haven’t tried it. I have done freezing a few times. It is less convenient than a tofu press. I think the texture would be great for some recipes, but not good overall.

You might also enjoy this channel https://www.youtube.com/@BakingHermann/featured Julius is sort of a vegan Anthony Bourdain. He travels around Europe and Asia, then makes many traditional recipes that just happen to be vegan. Some of the recipes are centuries, if not thousands of years old like Mujadara. His shorts are great, they are quick introductions to introductions to many traditional vegan recipes.

I never liked that it was pricey, but I do think it is better than other tofu presses.

Peel them, wrap them in wax paper, and free them. You can then use them when you want to.
