This ingenious tool consists of a set of crank-operated rounded serrated blades that can be mounted on a tabletop (or secured via suction). With it you can finely grate a halved coconut by holding the coconut half over the blades while you turn them with the crank; there is no need to shell and peel the coconut flesh. If you don’t have a scraper like this, carefully remove the shell and brown peel from the white flesh with a paring knife and grate the coconut in a food processor.
