I do not know about you, but there has been many times I have tried to open a coconut and failed miserably. My usual technique includes smashing it somehow. Lots of times there has been hammers involved. Once or twice I have tried a machete. The latest debacle included use of gravity and a stairwell at a hotel in L.A.
For years it seemed difficult, and then just a couple of weeks ago I found out how simple it really is. Now getting at the yummy insides takes less than a minute. All you need is:
- a sharp chef’s knife
- a cutting board
- and a coconut
I hope you enjoy my high tech video below. It will explain the simple process.
