:) whack it with a hammer.. I remember doing that.

I am from the Uk and thats how we opened the coconut to.. messy job.

Here in the Philippines they do it the easy way ... no mess :)

I will explain.

Look at the black dots of the coconut, they are on the top.

Two look more like eyes and the other could be the mouth. The two eye will be much more alike.

Hold the nut in your hand above a large contain to catch the water.

Now this is important.. face the face of the coconut towards your thumb in the palm of your hand.

The idea is that you are going the hit the nut between the two eyes... well not between them but across the two eyes in the center line of the eye and the center of the nut.

DONT hit with a hammer !!! use the blunt side of a heavy knife.

Hit the nut cross the two eye with a firm blow then rotate the nut a bit (so turning the face over so it will end up upside down) and give it another firm blow. Repeat turning and hiting until the nut break into two even parts.

It hard to explain but I hope you all undrstnd.

If you done it right the nut will break very easy :) and you get two equal halves :)

as the nut starts to break you can poor the water into the container.

Hope this is of help

regards

Lubilife :)
