I have 2 questions: 1) is this tofu press BPA-free, and 2) is it dishwasher- safe? Thanks.

Here's an alternative that IS BPA free, but is not dishwasher safe:http://www.earthfirstinnovations.com/tm1202-tofu-maker.html

Dishwasher safe:yes. I cannot answer about BPA. We usually set it sideways in the sink so fluid drains straight out.

According to the manufacturer's website: "We do not recommend putting the Tofu Presser in the dishwasher because it has rubber pads on the bottom that may react to the super hot water. Thanks, Lourdes ...at TofuPresser." (http://tofupresser.com/tofu-press-instruction-manual/) Some of the other answers may have this device confused with the EZ Tofu Press, whose manufacturer says it is top-shelf dishwasher safe.

I don't know if the metal is dishwasher safe. I have not wanted to chance it. I just rinse mine in hot water and allow it to air dry. It cleans up very easily!

I am not sure if it is BPA free but it appears the plates are basically cutting board material. My guess is that it is BPA-free. The rest is stainless hardware and two plastic knobs. Certainly dishwasher safe, but I just hand wash mine. Works great except when compressing your tofu really hard, the plates will bend a little. I think its the best press on the market!

I believe that it is BPA free and I don't have a dishwasher so i ca't help you with that.

The plastic is made of a high density polyethylene that is BPA free, according to the manufacturer's description. It is dishwasher safe, but I hand wash it and air dry. I've been very pleased with mine.

Mine go through the dishwasher just fine. According the product description, they are BPA-free. I love mine.

I am guessing since it is a nalgene product and BPA free that it is. I hand wash my gear so I really don't put my stuff in a dishwasher but it has a dense enough abs style plastic that if you did I wouldn't be concerned.

I can't see anything on the box or the manual suggesting that it is BPA free. I also couldn't find anything online, sorry. It is approved by the FDA though :)

I was wondering the same thins. So, I looked it up on Progressive International's web site. That web site says that it is BPA free.

Hi Sam. Although it claims to be dishwasher safe in the instructions I have not chosen to do that. It is so easy to clean that I don't want to risk pitting.

I don't see any BPA Free mark. Even if it is BPA free, there are still plenty of chemicals in it that create estrogen. I would have prefered glass as well. Since it is plastic, it is important not to put it in the freezer (to keep your smoothie frozen while you drink the rest) and don't put it in the dish washer - I keep all plastics out of my dish washer. I should mention about no plastics in the dishwasher - before I started this practice in my house, I was having sweats like I was in menopause, but I wasn't. Once I stopped putting plastic in the dishwasher (not even plastic handled knives or pot lids with plastic knobs), microwave and freezer (and stopped drinking bottled water) the sweats went away.

I am not sure if it is BPA free. I only know it is a really good steamer and easy to use and does well in the dishwasher.

Nope. It's BPA free acrylic/plastic. I have done both hot and cold in it and it works fantastic! I have 2 of these now. Try the flash brew kind. Designed specifically for what you want to do. Brew with hot then add ice to quick chill. Takeya Flash Chill® Iced Tea Maker (2 Quarts, Blueberry) Such a fantastic product, really!

As I have discarded the leaflet that came with the press, I do not know if it is BPA-free, nor do I know if is dishwasher-safe. I have never put it through the dishwasher as it is so easy to wash. I can say that this is a wonderful product and I am glad I bought it.

I'm not sue, it was a gift for my mother. She loves it and has purchased it for some of her friends, but I'm not sure if it's dishwasher safe. Sorry I could not be of any help

I also emailed Mr. Coffee about this directly. Unfortunately, the short answer is "No, it is NOT bpa-free." I have pasted the email reply I received underneath the product webpage link for this model, so if you wish you can verify that there is no mention of bpa-free plastic: http://www.mrcoffee.com/iced-tea-makers/BVMC-TM33.html ------------------------------------- Thank you for contacting Mr. Coffee, a brand of Jarden Consumer Solutions.

I was unable to ascertain if it is BPA free or not. I too try to avoid BPA's when possible. But I use it so infrequently, perhaps once a month tops, that I'm not as concerned about that as I am other chemicals I'm subjected to every day. Bacon due to the curing process carries certain health risk itself so I try to pick my battles wisely. I think avoid the fat the few times I use it is more healthful then the possible exposure of BPA's in my case. However if you are able to find out if there are BPA's or not I would also be interested to know. I did some research and couldn't find any info.

I actually didn't see a recycling code on it. Sorry. It does say BPA free and dishwasher safe.

Yes to both. I wash the top and bottle on the top rack and throw the blender whisk in with the silverware. There is a sticker on the bottle that says BPA free.
