Question

How do I crack a coconut shell off the coconut?

Answer 1

Use a rock or a knife, if it doesn't work then try the hammer and hit it hard.

Answer 2

Throw it hard on concrete cement.  My floor is made out of concrete cement, so I always throw it hard on the floor and it cracks, then I get a knife and open it.

Answer 3

You can't go wrong if you use a hammer.

Answer 4

Place the coconut on it's side on a hard, strong surface and with a hammer tap, don't bang, it all the way around the circumference. It will neatly split. Before you do this, puncher the three eyes with a awl or an ice pick and drain the liquid from the inside.

Otherwise it will make a mess when you crack it open. It is very simple to open, but follow these instructions.

Answer 5

a knife, hit it in the middle top or the top, watch your fingers!

Answer 6

Grab 2 coconuts and smash them together, they will both crack.  It may be kind of fun to do.

Answer 7

Use a rock to cut it with the grain (top to bottom). Then just peel the husk off (It require some effort). Now you're ready to crack that open with a rock and have yourself a little coconut feast.   That is just the way I do it.
