How to open a coconut


Drain the water out by digging a knife into the softest black spot at the top of the coconut (there are 3, but one is soft). Then use a hammer to repeatedly hit the center of the coconut while turning it in your hand. It will crack down the center. Use a pear knife to cut little pieces out of the nut. You do this by pressing (like in the picture) down into the pulp of the coconut and then flicking the knife to one side which will pry the piece out. If you are doing it right it will only take you a couple of minutes to get the whole thing out!
