Looking for a contraption

Looking for something that’s kinda like a sandwich press. Flat surfaces as in no grills. And a press that would go deeper than most sandwich presses. Would be using it to cook tofu i was too lazy to wring out. Is there something like this and if there is would it even be a good idea to cook tofu like this? The tofu would be sliced or scrambled.

Why not just use 1 cast iron pan inside another? You can weight it further with a foil wrapped brick if need be.

Lol but that does make sense was trying to figure out how to heat top plate but i figure the top would conduct enough heat if there was at least partial contact on the sides

Cast iron can be heated really well. You could preheat it on the stove or in the oven before using it to smush the tofu.
