just wanted to share my method to extract the meat: 1) one of 3 eyes on the coconut is always softer, i drill a hole in it with screwdriver and get the coconut water out, which i can drink or use for other stuff. 2) i wrap the coconut in a plastic back and i bash it with a hammer. This way it's really easy to separate the meat from the shell, using a small knife and prying the meat out. WAY faster than grating the stuff. 3) i place the pieces in a high powered blender (Vitamix, Blendtec etc.) with a little bit of water and grind the meat. Then the rest of the procedure i follow is pretty similar than the one in this video, i jsut wanted to hear your opinion about getting the meat out using my method, i think it's way quicker.
I hail from Kerala, a state in India. We use coconut products abundantly. The method used by John is precisely our method, except that he is not an expert. In Kerala, you see people cracking open the coconut in less than two whacks. The coconuts are grated quickly. John is using the conventional grater. Nowadays, you have graters that can be fixed onto the edge of a table, to make it easier. Try watching 'How to Open a Coconut, Indian Style' on you tube.
It's always good to know how things are made, for the sake of science, even if you decide it's easier to buy it from now on, I commend your efforts. I do the same thing all the time, I raised chickens, we grow all kinds of vegetables, for fun, I make bread (and it is the best bread I've ever had), made pasta, made hard cider, ginger beer, regular beer, keep bees for fun, made candles...it's great to do all of that stuff!
hi bro, i am from Malaysia, you are doing the regular hot process oil, leave the milk for 24 hours and not in the fridge, and you should have 3 lairs. cream on the top, can be used as butter, and the virgin oil and lastly the water, you waist a lot of milk in this way, you can blend it hard with the water before you leave it for 24 hours. and good luck :)
I use a hammer to break open the coconut into little pieces. I don't smash it at once, but tap it just like you do with the cleaver. I once was able to remove the entire coconut meat while still intact (looked like a brown leather ball), using this method. Some coconut flesh pieces just come out whole from the shell, others need to be pried out. Takes me about 4 minutes to completely get the meat out of one coconut. Then I blend and strain pretty much as described in this video. I think blending yields more milk.
You can crack open a coconut easy and fast by hitting it with the dull side of a cleaver or machete across the line that runs between the "eyes" of the shell.
John, thanks so much for your video! I gave it a go but since I couldn't find a coconut shredded like yours, I pretty much got the pulp out of the shell and shredded it in a food processor, I left the milk in the fridge but there is hardly any cream floating on the water. Did I do something wrong? Any ideas? Thank you sooo much!
I don't know. Some coconuts will have more cream, and some less. I made my first batch by doing what you did, except I used a blender. I mixed water with the processed coconut meat in the blender, so it's hard for me to say why yours didn't work. It also depends on how many coconuts you use, and how much water. Also, I've seen shredders like the one I have for sale on Amazon.
this is commonly done here in the Philippines where you can find coconut everywhere. my grandparents never ran out of coconut oil in their house, my grandma makes it herself. :)
It would be good if people everywhere could easily make their own cooking oil. In colder climates it isn't easy to find things that everyday people can use to make their own oil. I think that's one reason people used to use lard.
I could not for the life of me figure how you were gonna use that coconut shredder. Last I ever thought you'd SIT on it! Learn something every day! Wow. Lot of work there. Can you extract oil from store bought milk? (coconut of course). Great vid
Thanks. Knowing how to extract oil from nuts is a useful skill. Where I live there are a lot of wild walnut trees. Nobody eats the nuts. I may gather some this fall to see if I can make walnut oil. I might even try it with acorns.
Ohh wow some Filipino recipes would be interesting. I don't think I am familiar with any? Yes I can see it really takes time but all good things take time. And fresh coconut is ooohhh sooo goood!!! I will be definitely looking into getting coconut oil into my diet. Since you are not the 1st to recommend it...it is time for me to try. Thanks so much for caring.
Thank you so much for this video showing how to do this ...I will be making it because then I know for sure that it is pure coconut oil...again thank you and God bless you.
It'll solidify below 76 deg F. It's also usually less expensive to buy coconut oil, too, but make sure it isn't hydrogenated or you'll lose some of the benefits.
I've been using this on my hair as a mask and it has made my hair look and feel great. I suffer from dry scalp and after I dry my hair, I always get peeling skin right at my hairline, at the top of my forehead. It's so incredibly annoying. I dab just a little bit of Merit VCO virgin coconut oil on the flaky spots and they behave all day. I am going to give some of this to my sister to use on my niece's eczema since I have heard it works wonders there too. Just for fun I rubbed this on my arms and elbows and it worked as a great moisturizer with a little sheen, I can see myself using this on my legs during the summer!
Excellent video! I'm an American who's been living in Cebu Philippines for 15 years. My wife's family has property in the southern part of the island. Last weekend we harvested all the coconuts and processed them into copra which we later sold. Using a process similar to yours we were able to get just over 1 liter of oil from 10 coconuts. This is the best oil ever! By the way the cloth you used is called a muslin cloth (just a cotton cloth like a big handkerchief). I like your use of the squeezed meat for coconut flour, don't see people doing that here. Question: What do you do with the leftover solid parts left in the pan? They're quite tasty and can be mixed with peanut butter or just eaten alone as a snack. Do you do anything with them or just throw them out? You got my sub :)
my mom use a juice extractor she cut the coconut into pieces the machine does the rest what it left behind is a creamy oil good for almost everything. ..but since I don't have the machine am gonna try this way THANKS for sharing!!!
I take the coconut, pierce the 3 'eyes' to drain the coconut water (good for drinking). Crack with a meat cleaver, place in a 200degree oven for 15 minutes. Cool then pull out of hard shell.
Hi john! My mother said that it is good to make coconut oil when high tide cause it produces more coconut oil, weather it is a myth or what but my mother usually makes more oil and its amazing.
Good video. I bought a book called Coconut Cures a few years ago while researching healthy living. I am a fan but I have found most of the coconut oil here in the Philippines is expensive as much of it is processed in the USA and then shipped back here. This will be interesting to try.
John Strabismus but nowadays here in the Philippines, we use the electric coconut shredder, in less than a minute you can shred a whole coconut. but the manual "kudkuran" that you have is still used in some rural areas.
I do this way too. But after adding some water..... I'll boil everthing.... No need to scope out the white cream. (More coco oil)..Just boil over medium fire until it turns into an oil. And try not to burn the solids.... Its a good toppings for some glutious rice dessert. .... Thanks for sharing
I wish I could make coconut oil as well as you do, If you wouldn't mind, please put up a video explaining the right way to do things, I thank you in advance.
Thank you for your video and time brother. I am maybe too naive, but cant resist to ask you, :) Y cant we just grind the coconut then strain the milk and then carry on the process?
Although the yield is good for keeping the skin supple and minimizing white hair, it was simply coconut oil, not the virgin one. If that product was baked, there won’t be a difference from the cooking coconut oil, a clearer one and what we normally use for frying.
Is that ever cool. I never even thought of how it is made. Since coconut water comes in cans to drink it must also be a cannable item. Hmmm now you have my brain working.... mercy mercy! LOL Thanks for another great vid!
What am amzing & interesting task! I did not know any of this information so I thank you for doing this video on it. That coconut shredder is very cool indeed. I bet that shredded coconut that your wife will use to make candy,etc will taste so delicious.
It is easier to freeze a coconut for about 12 hrs and then hit the equator line around coconut. Shell will come off easier and hardly any bark on the meat. If no equator line, hit around the coconut and shell will still break better. Empty coconut water before freezing it. You can bake it at 200-300 degrees in oven and break it open.
Yes, there are many ways. But you don't get as much brown bark after the freezing. Just make sure water is out of coconut and don't freeze over 12 hrs. I was striving for less bark. There is a you tube video on freezing them and baking them. it would be easier to grate coconut after because of less bark. Or you can just buy unsweetened coconut at a store, online also.
Thanks, I have searched a lot about doing this. I bake coconut Macaroons quite a bit. They would taste nasty and look funny with the bark in them. Thank you for your compliments. Blessings for the future.
I do that, too, just that I use the canned coconut cream since I don't have that sharp tool to grate coconut & I usually don't have the time to shred :-D
I think you shuold'n let to get brown the solids while it's on the stove, this might burn the oil and looses all the benefits. It look too brown to think its virhin coconut oil.
This is the horse I usually ride on after school. I have to work for making delicacies for my mother to sell everyday. It was hard times, everyday i have to grate 10-15 coconuts.
When I made this it had no scent. I noticed if I buy oil at the store in like a beauty isle or from an earthy/fancy store like whole foods the oil has a strong scent. But when I bought coconut oil in the cooking oil isle that one had no scent, just like mine I made at home. Both say they just include coconut oil. Do you know why there would be a difference in scent? Thanks!
I did it this way twice. First from just 1 coconut and it was great. Then I did it out of 4 and... no oil in the end. Just the crumbles. Do you think you know why is that? Thank you!
GlassLegend40 The amount of coconut milk to oil just depends. Better to figure that about 6 coconut equals about 1 cup of oil. It might be more, and it could be less, but it's a place to start.
It's virgin coconut oil because it's organic. It isn't cold pressed oil, but this is the traditional way virgin coconut oil is produced around the world in people's homes.
+Jamie *Plus Four "Common Dangerous Enough" You Should Never Oils Eat ... If You Want to Heal and Restore Your Body Beautiful! -->>>> **CoconutOil-ForLife.blogspot.com** .*
What I showed here is just one way to make the oil. There's also a "cold pressed" way to make it, but it's best to have a lot more of the milk, and a lot more time. Wow! I'm pleased I was able to inspire you. Thanks for your kind words.
What about to use the juice extractor machine. I get carrot juice and a dry dust of carrot separated with this machine and is faster. Coconut and carrot have approximately the same texture.
Oh yeah and you dont put a coconut oil in the ref. for 6 to 8 hrs. and you must cover the bowl with cellophane or any covering materials ang you must leave it for 24 hrs. without string or mpving the bowl
is the oil obtain from this method still considered virgin coconut oil? because a lot of people said by using this heating method it kills the natural benefits n nutrients from the VCO. i'm just curious whether that is not the case. thanks
A lot of people are wrong. VCO is made from fresh coconuts. That's what makes it Virgin Coconut Oil. The oil I show in my video also has more health benefits than cold processed coconut oil. There's nothing wrong with cold press methods of making coconut oil, but the oil produced will be inferior.
*[Do you feeI cheated? We did when we reaIized everything we had been told about saturated oiIs was a lie... and just exactIy how much better coconut oil was for aII of us.]*
hi to extract oil dry the coconut in the hot sun with hard shell broken in to two half's for at least nine days. the hardshell separates from the pulp by now it is crunchy. aroma and touch of oil felt in the pulp. this pulp is squeezed in the metallic mill extract is collected and sundries for a day to preserve for at least six months without any preservative. it is healthy cooling rich for hair body massage and excellent for tasty cooking. shalom
People in the West Indies and other parts of the word have been doing this hundreds of years. The rest of the world has finialy caught up. Thank God :-)
My main purpose for this oil is cooking, but we use it for any use coconut oil is good for. One thing I'm interested in is whether coconut oil can help prevent dementia. There's evidence that daily use of coconut oil helps people with Alzheimer's disease.
I"m confused which is which. Hi process is different from other video that I watched. In his case, he tried to boiled it before he can produce the oil. The other video after refrigerating overnight, just separate the oil and wax. This oil is colored brown while the other one and usually sold at store is just dirty white.
(taht is the average) but it's even less, it depends on the size of the coconut almond ! because from my coconut tree (big green size nut, I only need 4 coconut for producing 1 l of coconut milk !
just wanted to share my method to extract the meat:
1) one of 3 eyes on the coconut is always softer, i drill a hole in it with screwdriver and get the coconut water out, which i can drink or use for other stuff.

We used to do that in my country, Haiti, the same way; I don't know for now. Good job!

My wife, a Pacific Islander, suggested the coconut candy. Anyway, if you can get coconuts inexpensively, this is a good way to make the oil.
I live in a tropical country where coconut is all around. Thanks I will use it on my face.

great job with the grating man,it is a dying art to grate the coconut.now days most people either use a machine or they just buy the coconut milk.
the brown stuff is so delicious and used in sticky rice cakes. don't throw it away eat it
Scarlett Harding Hi, here in the Philippines, we call the brown stuff "latik", really taste good on top of sweet glutinous rice.

Thanks. Coconut oil is an amazing food, and its many uses as food, skin care, and even medicine are only now being completely understood.
Although the yield is good for keeping the skin supple and minimizing white hair, it was simply coconut oil, not the virgin one. If that product was baked, there won’t be a difference from the cooking coconut oil, a clearer one and what we normally use for frying.

Its not colorless because he scrapped some of the shell into it.. So its a little brownish. Still very organic ;)

In tropical countries where coconut is so abundant and can be seen everywhere, this is a common thing done actually. even kids do it. :)
I can understand that. It's a good thing to know how to do.
Sure. Extracting oil from store bought coconut milk would be expensive, but it can be done.

Let us know your results.
I do that, too, just that I use the canned coconut cream since I don't have that sharp tool to grate coconut & I usually don't have the time to shred :-D
Dina B I think grating the coconut and making my own coconut milk is part of the fun of making coconut oil. The graters aren't expensive, maybe $15..
With the cost of 6 coconuts and all that work for only 1 cup would it come out less to just buy it already in a jar?
stankwho Good point. It's fun to make it, though.
John Strabismus Thankyou it is fun
+stankwho The Q is: is it as good is this one. I doubt it.
+stankwho it goes for around 10-20$ for 1liter

John Strabismus Good atempt. Little by little. Trying is worth than not trying. i read all comments and learned a lot.
you could have got way more oil(like 3x or 4x) if you had left the coconut milk over night...you could get most of its cream that way...
You're correct that I could have gotten more oil if I'd let the milk cool longer. I was in a hurry to finish the video, though.
i mean not to refrigerate it...thats what brings out the most...i'm just sharing the method that asian people use... :)
Nusrat Xahan OK, I'll try that next time. I saw the method you suggest one time.
Then i'm making it more clear. U can refrigerate it if you want after leaving over night. :)
thanks for replying.
Hi where can i buy the wooden Shereder ? thanks
How do you store it and how long does it last?
Oh yeah and you dont put a coconut oil in the ref. for 6 to 8 hrs. and you must cover the bowl with cellophane or any covering materials ang you must leave it for 24 hrs. without string or mpving the bowl
is the oil obtain from this method still considered virgin coconut oil? because a lot of people said by using this heating method it kills the natural benefits n nutrients from the VCO. i'm just curious whether that is not the case. thanks
A lot of people are wrong. VCO is made from fresh coconuts. That's what makes it Virgin Coconut Oil. The oil I show in my video also has more health benefits than cold processed coconut oil. There's nothing wrong with cold press methods of making coconut oil, but the oil produced will be inferior.
+John Strabismus thanks a lot for the information.
Hi John. Why do you say that the cold pressed method is more inferior. I'm really curious to know. Thanks.

hi to extract oil dry the coconut in the hot sun with hard shell broken in to two half's for at least nine days.
the hardshell separates from the pulp by now it is crunchy.
aroma and touch of oil felt in the pulp. this pulp is squeezed in the metallic mill extract is collected and sundries for a day to preserve for at least six months without any preservative.
it is healthy cooling rich for hair body massage and excellent for tasty cooking.

Michael Ferrao Yes... this is the way we make virgin coconut oil in Kerala, India.
What the...?! Man your a genius!
I'm no genius. Just a regular guy that's learned a few things over the years.
People in the West Indies and other parts of the word have been doing this hundreds of years. The rest of the world has finialy caught up. Thank God :-)
+Flowergirl Power People may have been making coconut oil this way for even thousands of years.
Awesome...........Thank YOU..................
great video well done
Thank you. You're very kind.
For what purpose do you use this oil? Skin? Cooking?
My main purpose for this oil is cooking, but we use it for any use coconut oil is good for. One thing I'm interested in is whether coconut oil can help prevent dementia. There's evidence that daily use of coconut oil helps people with Alzheimer's disease.
dear sir use rotating type coconut scraper it is easy n faster

John Strabismus thanks a lot i tried it and it worked for me thanks again
Aicha Bouh I'm happy you were successful. It's kinds fun to make coconut oil.
I"m confused which is which. Hi process is different from other video that I watched. In his case, he tried to boiled it before he can produce the oil. The other video after refrigerating overnight, just separate the oil and wax.
This oil is colored brown while the other one and usually sold at store is just dirty white.
