To prepare fresh coconut:
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce a skewer through two of the three coconut eyes. (They're soft and easily punctured.)

Drain the coconut water.

Place coconut on a tray and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 2:
Use a hammer to tap the middle of the coconut, turning slightly after each tap. Continue tapping until the coconut cracks open.

Step 3:
Insert a butter knife between the flesh and shell to remove flesh. Use a vegetable peeler to slice the flesh for shaved coconut.
