Recipe(tried): How to Open a Coconut -This is the best way i've found

Tips and Tricks - Cooking
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F. Puncture both eyes on the coconut with an ice pick or sharp pointed awl. Drain out the milk and set aside ,refrigerated, in a closed container. Place the coconut on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the coconut cracks. Remove from the oven and let cool completely [careful not to let the coconut roll around and burn you]. Tap with a hammer and the coconut will open easily. Remove the nut meat.
