what's the easiest way to remove meat from a coconut shell?
The subject says it all; what's the best way to remove the meat from a
coconut shell? I already figured out how to crack it open, but removing the meat from the shell has proven to be difficult. I'm actually not interested in the meat for eating, I just want to remove the meat from the shell so I can use the shell for art purposes without it going rancid. So methods that ruin the meat are perfectly acceptable for my purposes here. I'd juts rather not plug away with a knife... I tried that for about 5 minutes and came to the conclusion that it would take a real long time. Thanks! |

I seem to recall that if you bake the thing for a while then crack it open the meat is easier to get out. Don;t ask me the details tho! -- Peter Aitken Remove the crap from my email address before using. |

what's the easiest way to remove meat from a coconut shell?
Interesting question. At first I was going to offer my slam it on the
sidewalk method, but you don't want the easiest way to remove the meat; you want the best way to keep the shell intact. I'm native to Miami and always remember cheap tourist souvenirs of painted coconuts. The shells weren't broken, and they didn't seem to go bad. Hmm. How did they do that? Maybe holes were drilled and the insides coated with some sort of shellac? Even if you heated the whole thing so the meat drew away from the shell, you'd still need a pretty big hole in order to get an instrument in there that would get the meat out. --Lia Bob wrote: > The subject says it all; what's the best way to remove the meat from a > coconut shell?

Put the shells in a 350 oven until the meat just starts to get warmed. It will "shrink" a little and pull away from the shell. You can then shred it, and save it in packets in the freezer, pulling out one at a time to make milk in the food processor, or to make curries with. HTH blacksalt |

I've seen the first type, but the Gourmet Sleuth page was enlightening. I'd like to try a couple of those for extracting the 'meat'. I love cocount chips, but it's very laborious to peel chunks of coconut and then shave off chips. |
