Hi, We won 3 coconuts yesterday at the school fayre, now what do I do with them? Could I roast them, do I do it in the shells or scoop out flesh first? then grate it? Could I then freeze in batches to make cakes or add to curries? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

This seemed to me the most sensible response on Yahoo Answers to a similar question:
How to open a coconut
http://www.howtoopenacoconut.com/
Unopened coconuts store well in the refrigerator for several weeks. Firm coconut meat will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, or may be frozen for 8 to 12 months. Freshly grated coconut will keep for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. Soft coconut meat and milk should be refrigerated and used within a day.
