Yes, I weighed it down that way yesterday.  I put it in paper towels and put
the paper towels between two plates and then put a couple things on top.
Much better than trying to squeeze the water out by hand, which is also
likely to break up the tofu anyway.  All this good preparation didn't keep
me from pretty much ruining dinner.  But that's another story.

If you've got two of the same sized baking pans, you can cut the tofu into
thin blocks, maybe an inch thick either lengthwise or crosswise, put the
pieces in one pan between a few layers of paper towel, put the other pan on
top, and put some cans in to weigh the pan down. Let it sit for at least a
half hour. This will definitely help drain the water. It's a pain to squeeze
tofu. At least for me, weighing it down gets more water out.

HTH,
Dani
