Remove it by smashing it with a hammer

Use a hammer to hit the coconut hard. After it breaks open, use a screwdriver to pry it open slowly along the force. Peel off a large piece of coconut meat. Then use a knife to scrape off the remaining black skin on the coconut meat, revealing the perfect white coconut meat.

Take out from the refrigerator

First, put the coconut in the freezer and freeze it for about an hour. Then take a basin of hot water and carefully put the coconut in. At this time, you will see the coconut automatically crack in the water, which is magical. Then remove the white inner skin and serve.

Crack the coconut open and bake it in the oven for about ten minutes. The coconut shell will crack on its own and will break into pieces with a light tap using a small hammer.

Heat in the microwave and take out

After cracking the coconut in half, put it in the microwave and heat it on high heat for about 3 minutes, then use a steel spoon to take out the coconut meat.
