Date: March 09, 2008 03:12AM I saw the recent post about opening a coconut and wanted to share my method. Starting a new post seemed most efficient.
This is how to open a coconut without losing a drop of the precious water and without using/swinging a sharp knife Required items: - Hand strength - Plastic knife (or lots of hand strength, strong nails and patience) 1) JoJo & a fresh young coconut, flat side down. 
2) Score the coconut, using a plastic knife, starting from the flat side. 
3) Score it like a pie (or whatever works for you) 
4) Start to peel it. Getting it started is the hardest part - it helps to have nails and strong hands. 
5) Peeling it. 
6) Mostly peeled 
7) Peeled - I left the husk on for reference, but usually I take it all off. 
8) Find the soft "belly button" and it will cut right out. It is on the side that was flat. 
9) "Belly button" open, and not a drop lost. 
10) Invert over a large glass. 
11) Drain into glass. Liquid gold. 
12) I usually use a hammer or something hard to open the husk after I drain the water. 
13) MMmmmm. Liquid heaven....you deserve it! 
14) Peace, my friends.

Date: March 09, 2008 01:14PM Thanks for the laugh, Spanish. JoJo has many talents,....but, as an obligate carnivore, he doesn't bother with the coconuts. [www.oneillpaul.com-a.googlepages.com] Re: How to open a coconut.

Date: January 15, 2012 01:10PM What a cute kitty. Thanks for the tutorial! I was wondering about those.
Maybe the leftover coconut would make a good compost after. Re: How to open a coconut.

Date: January 15, 2012 02:51PM I haven't seen this way of doing it before. Gonna give it a try, because I stopped buying young coconuts because of the waste cost factor. Alas, the husk typically cannot be composted safely, because it's coated with anti-fungals for import  Re: How to open a coconut.
