How To Crack a Coconut

Usually, if a recipe calls for coconut we simply go to the pantry and pull out a bag of shredded coconut. Pretty easy, huh? But if you've got fresh coconut on hand, and you know how to open a coconut you can always substitute with freshly shredded or grated coconut.

I randomly bought a coconut for no reason. This video helped. 😂

My son went to Walmart with his granddad and brought back a coconut, so I ended up here lol. Great video by the way.

I had been hammering away at my coconut for a solid 15 minutes, to no avail. Putting it in the oven is what finally made a difference, so thank you!!

I just randomly bought a coconut for no reason. So I searched this! Thanks!

Here's my advice to you, and it's for safety: before use the screwdriver to poke holes in coconuts, you have to wash them before you use it.

HOLY CRAP! Firstly, thank you for a super easy and fast way to open a coconut. I just opened my first coconut and tasted the white. So good. Secondly, I went to get the peeler and then I heard you say "eat it with the skin on" so I thought eh, might as well give it a nibble...
Well sh#t a brick and build a house!!!! I'm OBSESSED! I CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!! The thin brown skin gives the coconut a nutty taste which is absolutely DEVINE! Thank you!

I Just cut my hand while trying to separate the flesh from the skin using a spoon because my coconut had a bullet proof shell but thanks for the video.

very informative before I was just throwing it at the wall! Now I am using your technigues

I found this very helpful as I was just about to bust out an angle grinder to open a coconut.

I bought a coconut to cut in half and make a home for my tarantula, so now I'm here

[kaiag]

I didn't know I could cut myself with a spoon until I tried to remove the meat from the shell.... the video was helpful to a point...

I always judge a chef by the kind of cutting board they use. And you're the only one who got it correct!

Mr. Food Test Kitchen Thank you. I have been really enjoying getting into eating healthier. About 2 Years ago I stopped drinking Cows Milk and I have to admit, my body like the change. I've been buying Organic Coconut Milk but as you know, it can get pricey. So, I decided to buy the raw Coconut and make my own healthier version with only 3 ingredients and it taste incredible. However, cracking the Coconut took the enthusiasm right out of the process. I haven't made it since lol. Until I stumble over your Video. You made it so plain and simple, I felt not so bright (again, smiling). The truth is, it worked and I'm happy. No more pricey Coconut Milk with all the additives for me. Thank you Again.

Thank you posting this. Easy, fast, and working! I discovered you a few weeks ago because I needed help with the coconut I bought, now using it for the second time I feel the need to leave an appreciative comment. All the best and lots of health so can continue posting!
