An Easy way of Peeling Coconut

Position a shelf in the middle of the oven and preheat it to 350 degrees F or 165-175 degrees Celsius.
Pierce one of the three soft eyes at the top of the shell with the tip of a screw 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.
