Robert or anyone...where to buy a coconut opener?

[Guest guest]

Robert,

 

Where would I buy a cleaver? I would like to be able to open a young coconut

like the " professionals " with two or three hacks. Is a " Cleaver " the right tool

for the job?

the handle you hack it in the coconut. you make a circle basically on the top

of the coconut until you can scoop the top circle off the coconut. But to be

honest with you, if you buy the young (thai) coconuts, the meat is like thin

yelly and for me not worth the hassle. I just bang two holes it it and drain

the water in a large cup and drink or otherwise use it and then discard the

coconut.

Yes, absolutely, I learned this from a raw course and on this DVD that was how

it was shown to us. I actually did it later my self and it works wonderful. Be

careful though you don't want to wack it into your hand holding the coconut.

Most asian stores sell these cleavers, they sure are handy.
