Place the coconut in a 350Â°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes; remove from the oven. Firmly tap the coconut with a hammer to crack open the shell. Continue tapping the shell until it is cracked in several places. Remove as much of the shell as possible this way. Remove the meat by inserting a sharp knife between the meat and shell or score the flesh and lift from the edge.

If you chose to pick it early, the young coconut will be green and evenly colored. Regardless of its age, the nut should also have no cracks or stains, which would be a sign that the nut is damaged and its contents may have leaked out.
