The shell will crack and the flesh loosens slightly\u2014makes it easier to remove.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Open Flame Method<\/strong>: Carefully roast the coconut over an open flame (like a gas stove or charcoal grill) for 5\u201310 minutes, turning with tongs. The shell will begin to crack or will be easier to crack and the flesh will loosen, making it easier to break and peel.<br>\u26a0\ufe0f <strong>Safety Tip<\/strong>: Always use tongs and heatproof gloves.
