Allow the coconut to ripen until it falls from the tree. Then, using a screw driver and pair of pliers (shown in the illustration), remove the husk. This can be an unhurried, most of the day, off and on affair. Yes.
Rinse and dry the nut. Then, using an ice pick, poke through, and ream out, at least two of its three little eyes. Upend the nut over a glass and see if you can resist drinking the freshest, coconuttiest liquid that collects.
Finally, hold the nut in one hand and tap it around its equator, over and over, with the edge of the pliers you see in the background. It will eventually crack like an egg and divide into two pieces. To get the meat out without injury to anything human, put the halves in a 400° oven for 5 minutes. The meat comes out easily using a dull table knife. Make sure there is no point on the knife, or else the human may suffer, anyway.
01 doc, please ignore this as we know coconut is not your cup of tea.
Zeta, I promise we have saved you some ...
