how to remove meat from coconut leave shell intact
To remove the coconut meat from the shell, pierce one or more of the eyes with an ice pick. To reserve the liquid, drain the coconut liquid though a fine-mesh sieve. Place the coconut in a 350Â°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes; remove from the oven. Firmly tap the coconut with a hammer to crack open the shell. Continue tapping the shell until it is cracked in several places. Remove as much of the shell as possible this way. Remove the meat by inserting a sharp knife between the meat and shell or score the flesh and lift from the edge.
