I'm looking to make some Caribbean jerk bbq style tofu, I used to live near a place that made it and it was amazing but I moved away. 😠(I'm looking to make something similar to it, it's the second photo). Unfortunately I do not have a grill so it's never going to be that similar. I like baking tofu cause I suck at cooking but it never seems to get that crispy. it just almost seems microwaved, like the edges get firm and the tofu shrinks. I don't press my tofu but I get extra extra firm so there's not much water in it anyway. I'm wondering if a cast iron might be more idiot proof and get me closer to the texture result I'm looking for (I realize nothing is going to match the texture you get from a grill but I'd like to get as close as possible) I'd really like to avoid making tofu in a pan cause I'm lazy and it's above my skillset lol. A lot of the jerk chicken recipes seem to be baked anyway so I'm hoping I can at least get a decent result with tofu. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
