I crack it open with one knock ✊ with a machete
Just spent 20min hitting with my knife and the only thing that’s cracked is the handle of my knife.
Thats what you get for listening to an idiot.
Get a cleaver those can take a beating.
Me too. This ain’t it chef
Sucks to suck
🤣🤣🤣
Just to let you know,once you open coconut if you put it in the freezer for 10 to 15 mts,coconut halves comes out rt away with a butter knife
I'm gonna try that
Nope. Tried it, it was worse than normal uncooled coconut...
Hi thank you very much. I also tried to freeze 1st then hit on diagonally. I like to plant little stuff in it so the holes are handy. Will try your method.
Take care love from South Africa
I used a hammer instead (just tilt it a little) and seemed safer and quicker.
Thank you for sharing, was easier than I thought it would be
Being south indian breaking a coconut is something we do for fun for mother as a little boy. Not bcos she can't bcos we liked to drink the water. This is the same as we do but it takes just 3-5 strikes. For us coconut is a staple requirement in our currys and chutneys. Or just snack the flesh or milk it.
Yeah we have different kind of knife for just that, don't we?
Yeah that one was not fresh the shell was dried out.a fresh coconut comes with the outermost fiber and green color. Those are the best and taste way different than this one he has in the video. Coconuts don’t grow in America until recently.
You wasted the coconut water 😂
Master my ass
The best part haha
I would keep coconut in the freezer overnight & remove & break it it opens easy.
😂😂😂
Lol a freezer in the jungle… totally 🇺🇸 way to do it.
I just tried this way to break coconut.. it turned out great.. very easy thnq so mch..
This is the worst & funniest coconut opening I have seen so far on y.t. Lol

If he was a master he would use a cleaver and only hit it 1-2 times and he would have a strainer to filter the juice as it fell out #facts
It workssss. Thanks girl 😊
Thanks so much I managed to open it
Best demo I’ve seen❣️ No tools 😀👍🏼
It only needs 2 or 3 strokes to crack it in perfect halves :)
it depends a lot on the age of the coconut. but he did have a tough one.
Just one if you know where to hit it.
This worked. Thank you!!!!
Thank you MasterChef.!
Thank you it actually worked
Excellent Chef I managed to crack the coconut, I wasn't able to ypll the coconut outside the shell in the way that you did. What I did was to crack more the two pieces and the with a knife pull out the coconuit fruit from each piece of shell
Thanks for the lesson to crack coconut. 😊
Best coconut video ever!
Dang it, now I'm hungry as heck for some odd reason!! Time to fix me up some foodage!! Thanks chef for the amazing step by step I do truly appreciate it!!
Thanks !
In the Pacific and Southeast Asian islands, there are 7-10 year olds that open coconuts less than ten seconds
Incredibly easy
Simple yet very helpful. Thanks for the vid

That took way too long 😂 I’ve seen someone do it with one hit
Excellent! Yea Yea Yea 👍👍😃
Thank you so much Chef Douglas because we live in countries where the economy is based on coconut but this was I am extremely unique way of opening a coconut with a knife .
You may not believe it but I have two of these knives and an endless supply of coconuts just out of my door but I really did not associate the breaking of the coconuts, with a knife. We just go to the nearest stone and Smash them hard just once or twice and a crack opens. Apply to mouth drink the juice wipe your face with the coconut water for moisturising against the sun shine and Bob's your mother's brother!
Of course when I am at home it is very easy for me to pick up any sort of sharp instrument and poke it into the the weakest eye of the coconut it has three. And then drain the water into a glass period period means.
Your method is the sensible way to do it without making such a mess with shards and so much effort hitting with a knife.
Ok watched video got thanks
What i do is make a little hole with a cork screw and put a straw in and drink the water first then crack it open.
Master chief your idea is harder than mine.... 😊
What's the shrimp dish you're making with the coconut?
wow

Watched this video before attempting to open my coconut and can confirm this works :)
I used to climb the coconut trees, but if one fell it would always land on the Skipper . Gilligan.
Thanks for showing us how to open the coconut I always throw it down the steps, it makes so much mess
What 😂😂
Just give it a one strong strike on the middle of tje coconut tjen you ooen a coconut in a split second
Single stroke most of the time only works on matured coconuts, this is green :)
it worked but you didn't tell me i needed safety googles for this LMFAOAOAO
It's awesome being a teenager a know how to do a thing the more efficient way than this man
Thank you!!!!!!!!!! You are by far the best 😁
just freeze it. then when you break the shell the whole coconut comes out clean in one peice. just put it in a freezer bag and let if warm up for later
Hammer one shot.
Thumbs up if you know what I’m talking.
Cold and snowy day, just found your channel and been binge watching.
Obviously your a master yet A couple things id like to humbly share with you-
I been taking avocados and halving them, just a touch of lemon juice, salt, pepper, an egg yolk where the seed used to be, then layer crispy bacon bits, then (i been using cheddar but convinced asiago would improve it 100 fold) cheddar. Bake that on 350. Its incredible! And possibly a good addition to your brunch menu.
Try peeling a pineapple halving it, shalter it with butter(or ghee) then packing brown sugar around it. Bake at 320. I usually serve it over vanilla bean ice cream but suspect it would make an amazing chutney to have with an herb roasted chicken.
@Douglas D That is AWESOME! We are grateful you found our channel and are enjoying your binge watching. Thank you for sharing your tips. Sounds like you are on your way to mastery, keep learning and stay tuned for new episodes. God Bless!
I don't want to sound superior patronising but Desi Ghee, welcome to the fold this is India calling full stop to good health. If the butter is homemade the taste is exquisite and out of the world and that is why Julia child used it in large quantities. It is called one of the most good and beneficial foods in The Good Book.
Check out my tutorials on how to open a young coconut! Juicy and delicious! 😎

Why's it so soft?
5 mins for him, it takes only 5 seconds for Asians
I've been using a 1/4'' thick British military MOD (Minestry of Defense) knife to crack mine, came here to find a better way, seems I was doing it right except I crack it around the middle and over the top & bottom.
I like to poke the 3 holes with the tip of a knife so I could drink from the coconut, never tried the fruit on the inside tho!
does anyone else notice a word "BF" on coconut body at 4:37?
He hit the coconut with the knife 175 times
Did you actually count? :0
Finally
@Mack Moto Thank you! 👨🍳 We sincerely appreciate you watching our video and leaving a positive comment. Please help us create new informative episodes by sharing our videos with everyone you know. 🥥 Bon Appétit & God Bless!
We have been doing that in Brazil for centuries. Hehehe
so are we, in India :))))
U made a mess out of coconut as well as damaged the knife.. just hit at the vertical line with some hard pounder and u will break it in one short..
Arent coconuts brown after husking?
Thanks, It Worked! (Just consider wearing a Protective mask, and or Hard Plastic face Covering--pieces flew up to my face--thankfully, I wear glasses). Also, keep phone or tablet screens away from this activity, lest you don't mind a cracked screen, from a flying coconut piece. Again, Thanks
Child's play for any Indian.. Being a south indian who uses coconut for each & every recipe of ours, Mr. Masterchef this was extremely messy. Me being a novice cook will break open a coconut in exact half with just 2-3 strokes 😀😁 Non indians look like aliens to us so many times 😂😅
I. The Caribbean, we go outside and throw it hard on the concrete.....
Exactly how we do in Fiji islands
Why does nobody cook fresh coconut??? Does it get soft if baked in oven??
It honestly easier if you just use a palm size rock. One punch and youre already done. I do that often. You might wanna watch how asian do it. Asian always has the best trick.
Before you crack it chef...
Put it in ice water for 5 min, take it out, one hard hit in a hard surface and it will split perfectly in half. To remove the flesh, place the coconut half face down in the oven and heat it up for 5 min med heat, let it cooldown, place pering knife between flesh and shelf and it should come out the whole flesh full.
Won't this damage the knife in the long term?
If the knife's full tang, probably not.
Kind of young coconut too
🍾
There’s an easier way just spin the nut around the equator while you drop it on a hard surface spinning on the way down and it will crack around the middle
Boy, as a professional chef, you struggled with that thing a LOT. A heavy knife like a meat cleaver works so much better. (I Watched a dozen videos, You made it look difficult!)
A concrete hard edge works way better the. A knife , and yes he sucks at opening this it’s all crumbly and old rotted out coconut. Not fresh at all. Probably taste vinegary too. Professional…. Lol, and fresh much less. I used to go to local fruit and veggies store every morning and crack these open with the hush on faster than this video took.
🥥
Bruhhhh...In the Pacific ..we hit it once with the knife and it opens up. This chef takes so many tries and made so many dirt. It does not even crack properly.
4:37 cool, I never knew coconuts had batch numbers printed on the inside. Nice to see this is from batch 8f, must be a fresh one.
I used to crack open a coconut with 3 or 4 whacks of a "parang." (Machete).
this is a good method , but just in case you dont want to risk ruining your knife, you can do the same steps with a hammer instead, but keep in mind that if you dont drain the water before hand, it will spill everywhere. Enjoy your coconut :D
It only takes less than 5 seconds for me to do that
some are more difficult.
Yeah he's hitting it too soft. The harder you hit it, the faster it'll crack.
Dude!! Tried smashing it, hitting hammer,, dropping... I guess it's all in the technique....
I smashed it on the ground and it cracked open! No tool used.😆
😂😂😂😂😂
I just broke my knife doing this, now I have to buy a new one to slice my tomatoes
I’ve see easier & much clean &
neater way to open a coconut.
But thanks for showing this way too!
Leceh keje macam ni😅 mesin jela adoi
I tried this it doesnt work I must have a different kind
Just hit it harder along the ridges. One clean strike should do. Trust me I'm Indian
😭 I struggled the same way when I had food with fork for the first time.
Welcome to America
😂😂😂😂
My mother tooks just one shot to do that. What the hell cheff
In India it's mostly cracked within 10 Seconds.😂😂😂😂
Oh, God! Is he doing it for fun? Can somebody tell me is this the easiest way to crack open a coconut or the one which is showcasing on RUclips? /watch?v=m_LHpQ5dIDw
Sorry, but that's still a complicated was, especially eben you want to collect the water. Netter Swatch fort "how to open a coconut and remove the meat" and look at the young Lady here!
My motherinlaw in India does it the same way.
Instead of a knife use the thin Side of a hammer.
Master chef my ass
All you need a sharp stone
Open with one hit lol
Why did he set the knife down on shrimp?
Right those who have allergies to seafood.
Thanks for see that I thought I was the only one.🤔
This guy did it the hard way... just take a sharp Rock and hit it once in the back of the eyes and middle line down the back.
Me doing this at 12am
Or you just drain out the water. wrap it in an old towel, put it in an old pillowcase and slam it on the ground. Much more satisfying.
That's absolutely hilarious.. 🤣 the weakest point in a coconut is follow the line in between the two eyes to the center of the nut ... One hard hit on that center line will crack it
as an indonesian people who lives around coconut every single day, this chef has to learn from asian people to know how to break a single coconut wihout wasting time.
and that knife is too small and to fragile for coconut sir. indonesian people used a bigger knife for breaking it. its called golok. and we have machine to take the coconut out of it shells.
wanna buy one? go to indonesia.
Do it the Indian way, it's much quicker and neater.
Show us
It's very hard to open , but it's the best Drink health for Heart Attack and many profits for human being
First, I take the coconut out to the garage. 😂 Next, I take the coconut over to the workbench; 🤣 Then, I open up the vise very wide..……hammer, chisel(s) and DeWalt drills come next followed by Milwaukee Sawzall……then I throw the pieces of the coconut I have destroyed into the garbage can. Return to the kitchen and tell my wife we need another coconut.
My vegetable vendor cracked it open in two shots with the weighing stone
If you wet it first....it'll be easier to open it.
It take only 2 strikes for me to open it.. Its a basic thing todo in asian country.
Accident looking for a place to happen.
Dont do this my knife broke and almost went in to my forehead.
