Answer 3

Position a shelf in the middle of the oven and preheat it to 350 degrees F.  Pierce one of the three soft eyes at the top of the shell with the tip of a s***w driver or an ice pick, hitting hard on the end of its handle with a hammer. Immediately drain off the juice in a container, if saving. Strain it to remove any flecks of shell.

Place the coconut on the middle rack in the oven and bake it until it cracks, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the coconut with hot mitts and let it cool slightly. Remove the shell--it will come off easily.

Peel the brown husk from the coconut meat with a vegetable peeler, and chop the coconut meat into uniform pieces. Use your food processor or a hand grater to shred or grate the coconut.

Did you know that 1 medium coconut, weighing a pound or so, yields 3 cups of shredded coconut?

To make fresh coconut flakes: Using a small, sturdy knife, pry out the coconut meat from the shell. It will come out in pieces, but try to keep them as large as possible. Using a swivel vegetable peeler, peel the outer brown part from the coconut meat. Then, shred it with a cheese grater (rotary or standing) or a food processor fitted with the fine shredding blade.
