PURPOSE:To prepare a bean curd having good appearance with simple procedure by providing a mold box capable of holding coagulated soya milk of an amount corresponding to a unit size of bean curd and opening dehydration holes on the circumferential wall of the box from the bottom to the height equal to the thickness of the formed bean curd. CONSTITUTION:Coagulated soya milk corresponding to the unit size of bean curd is put into a mold box 11 while keeping a pressing lid 12 above the box 11. The pressing lid is lowered to press the coagulated soya milk. Water contained in the coagulated soya milk is discharged through dehydration holes 24, 25 of the circumferential walls 21 and through dehydration holes 33 of the pressing lid. The height H from the bottom 22 to the uppermost dehydration holes 24 of the circumferential wall 21 is made to be nearly equal to the vertical thickness of the formed bean curd. The damage of the circumferential wall of the bean curd with the dehydration holes can be prevented to obtain a bean curd having excellent appearance. |
