Opening a coconut can be a risky endeavor if not done carefully. An alarming incident involving a TikTok user highlights the potential dangers of using sharp knives. To safely open a coconut, it's advised to use a cleaver for controlled strikes at the shell and to drain the water by piercing its 'eyes' beforehand. Once cracked, the meat can be removed, though it may require some patience and effort. Creative methods such as using an oven can simplify the extraction process, ensuring a delicious harvest without injury.
