TO CRACK AND SHAVE FRESH COCONUT
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Pierce softest eye of coconut with a metal skewer or small screwdriver and drain liquid into a bowl to sample (if it tastes sweet, the coconut is fresh; if it tastes oily, the coconut is rancid and should be discarded). Bake coconut in oven 15 minutes.
- Break shell with a hammer or back of a heavy cleaver, then remove flesh with point of a strong knife, levering it out carefully. Remove brown skin with a sharp knife or vegetable peeler.
- Shave edges of coconut meat pieces with a vegetable peeler until you have about 3 1/2 cups shavings.
