I usually bake low and slow, allowing time for the marinade to caramelize. 60-80 minutes @ 250°F.
Thanks Greg, now I am not sure what I am looking for. Should it be bake to the point of being crispy or what?
No, not crispy. Cook it too long and it will get tough. Maybe cook it to the point of light browning, although that may be difficult to determine due to the dark marinade. I think you could cut off a bite while it's in the oven, let it cool and taste it, then decide. I think a little bit chewy or somewhat chewy might be an indication. Maybe a bit softer than chicken. I suspect it's not really that critical as long as it isn't an extreme.Thanks Greg, now I am not sure what I am looking for. Should it be bake to the point of being crispy or what?

No they should have a bit of skin, about al dente maybe a bit chewier, and soft in the middle. Just looking to give it some texture.

So you all know I am not a fan of Tofu but recently entered my life about 200 cholesterol points, 20 blood pressure points and 35 pounds ago. Now I just have to fine ways to give the most bland food I have ever had some flavor.
So this isn't the finished product? You are going to smoke it too? Looking forward to this!
You kidding? We are all hoping for the ultimate tofu eating experience. Yours looks great!
Looks good to me SS. I don't flip mine. YMMV. Also, I pour the marinade over the top before baking. Of course you won't be doing that for smoking.Here it it and I am wondering if this looks right? I flip the tofu half way through.
BTW it really has a great taste,
Savannahsmoker said:I am going to be smoking some Kielbasi and corn tomorrow so I think I will also throw the remaining pieces of pressed, marinaded, baked Tofu in the smoker and see what happens. Who knows, maybe Pressed, Marinaded, Baked, Smoked, Pan Fried, Extra Firm Tofu might be very scrumptious indeed.

When you get that all together you should whip up some tempura batter and deep fry some of that tempura style. I have NO idea what you'd call it.
