How do you get into a coconut?

Hi Guys

I am so excited to try the malty milkshake recipe. I have all the supplies including coconuts – I have managed to poke holes in the ‘eyes’ to get the milk out – how does one get it cracked open? Is there a trick?

Going coconuts in snowy Canada!! :) Sarah

Ohhhhh – never mind – Producepicker’s post worked perfectly. Yeah !!!!

A hammer will do the trick. I usually do it outside on a rock or patio stone. (Coconut wood is very hard. I did it once on my hardwood floor and the coconut damaged the floor which is why I do it outside now.) Give it a good wack and it’ll break into a few pieces making it easy to get the coconut meat out. The effort keeps us warm. Last week we found some really large coconuts like we have never seen before. There were excellent. Maybe I need to get a big long knife like the one in producepicker’s video and give that a try.
