How do you shell a coconut?

Answer 1

Wash the coconut.

Punch out the little dark "eyes" with a Philips head screwdriver and a hammer (they're really soft), and pour out the juice.

Put the entire coconut on a pan in the oven at 350f for 20-30 minutes; the shell will crack and pull away from the meat.

Break away the shell; put the white meat with brown skin in the freezer.

When the meat is cold, it will be easier to scrape, peel, and cut away the skin.

Answer 2

Presumably the one you have is store-bought, so just the inner shell. You first need a corkscrew - put this into two of the 'eyes' on the top of the coconut and bore through. Then you need to tip the coconut over a bowl or cup ( to get the 'milk' out). When this is all out, the only way to go is to wrap the coconut in a clean tea towel, and bash it hard plenty of times with a hammer! This splits the outer casing, then you can peel away the flesh and eat it!! Good luck!

Answer 3

This will require some exercise and some tools. You will need a hammer, a long clean nail, a sharp knife, some newspapers, and a wide mouth jar. Pound holes with the hammer and nail in all 3 of the spots on the end of the coconut (don't know what they're called) and up-end it over the jar to let the milk drain out. Refrigerate this and drink later or use in recipes. Then put the coconut on the newspaper to catch any drips or debris, pound it with the hammer until it cracks, split it apart, and pry the fruit out of the shell with the knife. Cut it into pieces and refrigerate in a ziplock bag or plastic container. Eat within one week, or it will mold.
