Coconut Problem!

How in the world am I supposed to get the meat out of a coconut? I have drained the water and it is currently split in half, but I don’t know where to go from here! I’ve tried using a knife, a fork, and even a spoon! But nothing works! Any ideas?

    Thanks for the advice! I’m slowly but surely working away at it!

    No, but I got most of the meat out after struggling with it for almost 2 hours. Next time, though, I’ll check it out! There must be a better way!

    I go about it a whole lot differently. I use a very coarse grinder and grind the shell off, until I get to the meat, then work it from there.

    someone i know actually uses a vice to open them. he drains the water and then puts the coconut into the vice and slowly starts to squeeze it. it cracks and then the meat pops out from the shell when the pressure builds up. its pretty cool. LOL

    hey Cares … i am getting one too! why not? i think a vice would be great to open hard shelled nuts as well. the more tools the merrier!
