Coconuts are a delicious and versatile food that is especially good when eaten fresh. You may shy away from purchasing a whole coconut, though, if you assume that you need a drill, hacksaw, and other specialty tools to open one. Fortunately, you can actually open a coconut with items that you likely have in your home already. Heating the coconut in your oven helps soften it enough that you can just whack it against a hard surface to split it open. If you don't have access to an oven, a simple mallet or hammer can help crack the coconut open. Once you have it open, you only need a knife and vegetable peeler to free the coconut meat so it's ready to eat.
