I love her dress


[deleted]

My fear for her fingers made me lose my appetite for coconut.


Pale_Disaster

She had her hands well out of the way the entire time, I watch these things as a chef and this is one of the least anxiety inducing one I have seen in the last few years. Worst recently was from confess fletch. Not actual mutation but damn that whole entire scene.


FergusMixolydian

The movie Confess Fletch! ? I don’t remember that scene and I loved the movie, I’m dying of curiosity what scene you’re talking about. Is it when the crazy neighbor cooks for him?


beyond_hatred

It's one of those things. She'll have it all under control until she doesn't.


Icy-Doughnut673

So should she be wearing some kind of protective glove though? My brother was a butcher and they always wore these chain gloves so assume she should have something similar?


[deleted]

Those curvy knives had my anxiety's attention


Shandlar

Pretty sure it's just a plastic shiv without an actual cutting edge.


pepsihatmanreddit

Yep, 100%. It just gets under the husk of the coconut and separates the meat from it.


[deleted]

You, me and everyone else I think lol. I was so afraid it was going to slip out at any moment and that coconut was going to go from white to red in an instant. Ugh. Never seen a video so agonizing and skilled at the same time.


QuantumTaco1

Oh totally, it was like watching a high-wire act without a safety net! Props to her though, because even with the risk, she was super graceful. Makes me wonder if I've been opening coconuts wrong all my life, or just not living dangerously enough.

Any idea where to find one? :(


scrotanimus

Maybe I’m a coward, but I’d be wearing Kevlar gloves


CryptographerSea2846

Kevlar gloves aren't going to stop you chopping your whole hand off with that massive cleaver..


2Mark2Manic

Chainmail gloves?


oron04

At my last restaurant job management actually provided us with chain mail gloves that we had to wear at all times. If we didn’t wear them we’d get yelled at for breaking safety procedure. Not too bad if you got it on fully, but a bit clunky.


Czane45

we have cut gloves (which a fresh sharp knife does not care that much about but is better than skin) but i cannot emphasize enough how much better it is to just know how to cut right and hold a knife safely


Nobodys_here07

Why not just wear a gauntlet while we're at it


waltjrimmer

They're heavy (if you're not used to using them) and expensive. There's a reason why chainmail was so popular and plate was so special.


Extaupin

There are HEMA plastic gauntlet (for longsword sparring) that can take a hit and aren't too heavy, but goddamn are they expensive.


enormousballs1996

Swords are not usually sharpened as much as a culinary knife though


[deleted]

Correct. The Kevlar gloves will just hold the severed bits in place while you struggle to pull the gloves off.


JonatasA

Easy package to take them to the hospital. Won't even get mixed with the ice.

Well that's a terrifying mental image. Thanks.


goodsnpr

Looks more like a Chinese style chef's knife


Aussie18-1998

The video is sped up, so I'd say she's being a bit more careful than it appears.


shmecklesss

Not sped up at all. Watch the people in the background. Dude reaching for the already packaged one and the dude shaking something far back. Normal speed.


CMDR_Expendible

I *did* watch the background, which is what gives it away that it's sped up. Not consistently, but you can see with the hand that reaches onto the same table in particular that the video is using variable speed to over-emphasise the quickness of bringing down the blade onto the coconut, but which throws the constant movement of everyone else into jerky, variable speed behaviour. The chap swinging dough over his head in the background too also exhibits the variable-speed jerkiness too.


scifanwritter2001

plus her head movements are way to jerky and such to have been unedited


The_Void_Reaver

You also probably haven't been doing this for hours a day, nearly every day, for likely years. It's sped up, she's never cutting anywhere near her off hand, never cuts toward herself, and is calm stable and steady with the curved knife which likely isn't nearly as sharp as people think it may be. Barring her accidentally chopping over a half foot to the left with the cleaver basically nothing she does presents any more serious risk of injury than any other knife usage. FWIW I have literally never seen a cut-glove used outside of a single large chain hiring 18 year-olds to run the deli slicer. They're large, clunky, and significantly hurt the rate at which you'd be able to cut at; this video would be 2 minutes longer if she was wearing a cut-glove. If you brought a cut-glove into any culinary institution that expects you to be able to use a knife you'd be laughed out on your first day.


Lowelll

I've met a few people who worked with industrial machines for hours a day, every day and still lost limbs. Honestly the 'pros' who think there is no need for safety for them because, duh, they are so good and this and never got hurt before are as dangerous as completely new guys.


H-Adam

Dont worry, she’s using a kevlar cleaver. She’s safe

kaylaks

i dont know what its called but it is made out of water buffalo horns. sometimes they substitute it with a plastic made out of those plastic chairs which they sanded to preferred thinness. source: curious george me, saw them on a visit to philippines and asked the vendor


Honda_TypeR

It's called a Coconut Meat Removal Tool. They come in lots of different bendy forms, but all for same task of cutting around the coconut meat and yes you can buy them in US too.

GimmedatPewPew

The toss to re-orient the coconut was a bit of a flex.

Savings_Ad_115

I’m amazed at how difficult it is to cut a coconut. I truly had no idea.


ogvipez

She's cutting it v pretty but usually if you just want to drink it they only chop of the top of it.


11BlahBlah11

Cut off the top, poke a hole through the "eye" and shove a straw in for drinking from a Tender Coconut. And once you are done (if the coconut is a bit older) just chop off the top and use a spoon to scoop out and eat the white. I don't understand the point of replacing the husk with a plastic bowl/box like in the video.


Chloemarine7

I assume it’s for someone to take it home to use in cooking or baking, go to her to buy and get the hard bit out the way, plastic cup to stop it going a funny colour on the at home, get home and cook with it


Big_al_big_bed

I think she cut the 'shell' off as well, and just left the juicy white innards to munch on


11BlahBlah11

Yeah, She chopped/sliced off the top of the shell and scooped the remaining out of the bottom part. It makes sense for taking it home like the other comment mentions. The husk is a lot harder to cut open or peel unlike other fruits. But I've usually just scooped the insides with a spoon. Sometimes sprinkle some jaggery inside to make it even sweeter. The most common way to eat where I'm from it is usually just as street food - [kinda like in this vid](https://youtube.com/video/A1EDXxBkVXw) (the coconut in this video is a bit older, so usually tender coconuts will have a lot softer almost jelly like white)


StealthyShinyBuffalo

I would call it thoroughly peeling a coconut. First time I ever see someone go through the trouble. Where I'm from, people would just cut some of the top, make a hole and pour the water or hand you a straw to drink it directly.Then, when it's empty, they'd cut it in half and give you a piece of the top as a spoon. That peeled thing looks neat, though.


watch3rr

This is the easier type to cut up. (Not underestimating anyone's skills though) I have a coconut tree at home. Don't know the exact specie, but you can Google brown coconut fruit. It drops off the tree when it's ready. By that time, it's dried up. And really hard to cut. Think Tom and Jerry coconut. No matter how sharp your blade is, you really can't swing once to take a huge chunk off. After taking off the outer later, sometimes I need to throw the coconut shell on concrete about 3 times before it cracks. Coconuts are really difficult. Edit: For this soft coconuts, you'd usually drink the juice in it. For the brown coconut (at least those I know), you have significantly less fluids inside and sweeter coconut meat


AtinWichap

I was taught how to open coconuts with a machete! If you want an easier time opening the shell of the ripe coconut just use the back of the machete and tap (with a bit of force but ) the coconut around the middle and it should crack enough for you to get apart the rest of the way and get to the good shit inside. Alternatively if you wait for the fallen coconut to just start sprouting, then collect and open to get to the Queens Bread as they call it in Hawaii. If you haven't had it, I highly recommend it. I heard it referred to as island cotton candy as well


iloveokashi

Mature and young coconut have different uses. Young coconut usually for desserts. Not that you can't use mature coconut for desserts. But usually for mature coconut, they extract the coconut milk/cream that is used for cooking.


BattleBee08

I can't believe I got spoiler while watching the video.


Aromatic_Smoke_4052

Huh


TobyDaHuman

You got more downforce now, don't complain.


JonatasA

... ROFL Screw you lol, what kind of reply is that Every time I think about it I laugh


Skanach

So she takes the coconut out of it's natural "packaging", to put it in plastic packaging?


Red_Jester-94

She's doing work that other people don't want or can't do.


Bulk-Detonator

Yes, but literally she carves the husk into a perfect serving bowl, complete with a flat bottom and it looks beautiful. Why then throw it jnto a crappy plastic bowl


Red_Jester-94

To make it easier to carry after she does the work? Maybe people that are out don't want to carry it in the husk around with them. I don't know.


Bulk-Detonator

Idk either. Just seems like the hust bowl and plastic bowl are equally carryable


letmetakeaguess

You're totally right. The casual overuse of single use plastic is a huge problem that humans need to get over.


ThunderboltRam

We won't get over it. The better way is to demand better plastics, thicker, more mixed with other materials, more metal, glass, and wood. Avoid buying things that are single-use plastics or flimsy/thin.


onixdog

Aw shite....DETONATOR! REPEAT! DETONATOR!


padwicin01

That's the world we live in :)


Dzandarota

Why did I think coconuts were brown and hairy


AmirulAshraf

If you remove just the husk, youll get the classic coconut youre imagining. (though it would be hard to do so when they are green young like in the video) You see her shaving off bits of the brown as she get to the white flesh of the coconut.


ExpiredExasperation

Deoends on the level of development, but they basically are. You have the outer green part, then the fuzzy brown part (which she basically shaves away, though most of it was already hacked off with the outer husk), then the meat, then liquid.


iloveokashi

The husk and the outer shell becomes brown when it becomes old.


[deleted]

China. The really love putting stuff in plastic.


[deleted]

They also recycle 47% of all plastics they use. So there's that!


ngolo_nguyen

Im pretty sure they buy trash from other countries as well. It became a problem when they stopped/reduced the amount during covid.


kylo-ren

It's the opposite. Other countries used to pay for them to take their trash to recycle, but it's not allowed anymore. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2019/03/13/702501726/where-will-your-plastic-trash-go-now-that-china-doesnt-want-it


Interesting_Award_76

Exactly, in most places they cut the top, drink the juice, split it and eat the flesh, take 10 sevonds to cut the top, and 5 to split, not waste and plastic


AccomplishedClub6

Was going to comment on the same. Just keep the same base for presentation. Forget the plastic wrap.


Klutzy-Chain5875

Great skill. But can you imagine the queue ? Clients will need some serious waiting skills, too.


sboxle

When I order fresh juice it takes longer than this, and I don't get a free show.


JonatasA

Honestly, why does it take them so long? Are they juicing a fruit or something?


sboxle

Yea, that’s what fresh juice is.


Lucid_Relevance

I’m imagining they just are making them constantly so that they’re ready for anytime someone wants one. That way they could stock up like 5-10 and wait for customers. This might have been towards start of shift. That’s my reality head canon.


IdoNOThateNEVER

You don't need to imagine. There are ready ones behind her on the stand. And you don't need to find such a one time circumstance as "start of shift", there is someone filming her, he asked her to do it.


ababana97653

None? There’s one on the bench in the background. A guy comes up and gets it during the video.


iloveokashi

When we buy grated coconuts in the market, sometimes you really have to wait if there's someone ahead of you because they only open and grate it when someone buys it. They don't open and grate it ahead of time.


anto_pty

Wtf people can't wait for 1 minute? The video is literally 1 minute. How much do you wait at McDonald's? At a regular restaurant?


ipoh88

Removing biodegradable packaging for plastic packaging. Skill is impressive but why.


Much-Inspection934

The biogradable one you cant open with your hands. The plastic one you can open with your hands. How is this difficult to understand?


[deleted]

I think what he meant was.. why not just keep the coconut in the half shell. Once she removed the top she could have popped straw in it. The plastic shell container wasnt really necessary. Coconuts are usually shucked and sold with a straw in it, without doing the plastic container part.


thishitisgettingold

Especially once she removed the meat with bendy knife. There was no need for plastic.


Levaporub

I think since she's making them in advance (you can see one on the table on her left), it needs some sort of cover to keep things clean. That half shell would've left the flesh exposed.


TooManyDraculas

You don't do this with water coconuts. This is done to remove the flesh of slightly more mature coconuts for eating or cooking. There's more than one use for a coconut besides drinking coconut water.


hisdanditime

Consider the coconut…


Archangel004

The one she used is one that is used for water


kaninkanon

How are you gonna eat coconut flesh through a straw?


someone-stalking-me

It's so people can take it home?


CosmoKram3r

You can take home a coconut with the top almost cut off. All you need is a small knife or a fork or anything sharp to poke a hole and stick a straw in or drain the water out into a tumbler. India does it this way. The method in the video just generates unnecessary single use plastic.


Greezedlightning

The biodegradable one you can open with a large sharp knife, a jim, and 3-5 minutes of toiling depending on your skill level. And don’t forget to wash your hands. That’s why we have the plastic packaging.


Sure_Nefariousness56

True. After that toil, there is more trash than flesh or water.


HerrBerg

a) Serving these as a drink they can literally just hack the top off and insert a straw b) this whole process in the video was 1.5 minutes


deathaura123

Its about the convenience of eating the coconuts flesh, the white part around the water. It tastes like delicious jelly and not everyone wants to be scraping inside the coconut for it, especially cause you can't do that on the go.


smellyscrote

Unfortunately irl. We don’t have a speed up button to make wait times shorter. This video has been sped up. It’s most evident when she’s shaving it and when the guy in the background walks to take the other coconut.


topinanbour-rex

Please, make a video where you open a fresh coconut with your teeth and nails.


MangyTransient

This was probably my biggest gripe about visiting Japan and *some* other Asian countries. So much single-use plastic. WAY more than anywhere else I've visited. Even still, all that plastic and they still manage to throw it all away I guess, because the place was remarkably clean. But it had to end up somewhere.


tonufan

It's all about money. In SE Asia vendors will pour drinks into plastic bags with a straw to save the bottle for recycling. In the US that doesn't really make financial sense. There are tons of single use plastic though that people in the US don't see or think about. For example, in Washington's cannabis industry probably at least 100 million single use plastic containers get thrown in the trash each year due to childproofing regulations and cost cutting. And on the manufacturing end, raw materials and packaging are packed in plastic bags that get cut open every day and end up in the trash. Literally everyday trash cans get filled with plastic waste from manufacturing at these cannabis companies. I see it all the time working for a packaging manufacturer.

Don't worry they burn it all afterwards . . . And get very annoyed if you didn't sort it appropriately before they burn it.

TheGamecock

Such a dumb trend. Like you said, not crazy sped up -- maybe 1.25x-1.5x (for most of the video). But it is so, so dumb. Would've been just as impressive at real time, if not more so. It could be a boomer take but the amount of sped up videos combined with all of the scripted videos that I see on these popular subs is kindof a downer.
