Preparation


To open, place in a medium oven briefly to loosen meat from shell. Then break with a hammer or against a pointed, sharp edge or drop from a height onto a hard floor. Pierce two of the soft "eyes" with an ice pick and drain coconut milk into a container with a lid; and refrigerate immediately. Use within 24 hours. Peel the thin brown skin off the white meat with a vegetable paring knife. When cut and placed in the oven or microwave the flesh will separate from the hard shell.
