Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F. Puncture both eyes on the coconut with an ice pick or sharp pointed awl. Drain out the milk and set aside ,refrigerated, in a closed container. Place the coconut on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the coconut cracks. Remove from the oven and let cool completely [careful not to let the coconut roll around and burn you]. Tap with a hammer and the coconut will open easily. Remove the nut meat.

Baking it until it cracks works really well. If the meat is still stuck to the shell, use a screw driver or butter knife to pry it off and then a vegetable peeler to get the thin brown skin off.

tap with a hammer...once it is cracked take a vegetable peeler and peel away.
It will crack naturally in sections.
