I really don't know as I have never tried them. Please let me know after you have tried it, OK?

Not whole, lol. No really, if you can put it down the hopper then yes. I remove the brown outer skin prior to grating.

It is just to get the meat out. If the coconut is old enough that the meat stays together then yes, it will work, if it is so young that the meat is too soft then you might as well use a spoon. If the meat is at least a quarter inch thick then yes it should work well.

I have not tried juicing coconut meat, but I think it would work - no harm in trying. I would suggest adding some water to the shredded coconut before putting into the juicer (traditionally, one would add water to the shredded coconut, put it in a muslin bag and squeeze it by hand, so it's the same principle). The mechanism is the same as a mincer but I don't think it can be used for mincing meat as the front part is designed to compress fruit and veg and only has one hole, unlike mincers which have multiple holes. There are mincers / juicers on the market that have different attachments for the front part, which can serve your purpose better. I have not used the Z-Star.

I have honestly not tried to grate nuts yet, but I don't see why it would not do fine. It has 4 very sturdy cones for slicing and grating, and they are dishwasher-proof. I usually just chop nuts in a little chopper. If you grate cheese though, this is the best grater ever. I have vats of nice fluffy cheese now ready at all times.

I doubt it. The average coconut is too big for the basket to grab/hold. Coconuts can grow tall., even if the tree is only 10 feet, you have to use a ladder and the picker will not have enough leverage to pull/twist the fruit from its stem and it can be a potential for a fall.

Yes, the instruction manual specifies that it can shred coconut. Just make sure to clean it good and watch for clogs from the coconut's oils.

I used it for canned coconut milk-I believe that as long as the "milk" is very cold, it will work.

Absolutely! You need just about a teaspoon of the coconut ghee. Especially good for making coconut rice in the cooker using basmati rice, coconut milk, a tiny bit of sugar, salt, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, whole cardamom, a bay leaf, a tsp of coconut ghee. Coconut oil has a very distinct flavor, especially when mixed with ghee.

It will grate lemon peel but I would recommend a smaller one to get the finer grating needed for lemon zest.

This was a gift, but the person for whom I bought it says yes if you remove the grate.

Would like to help but I don't know how coconuts are harvested. It is a nice long pole and fairly sturdy when extended. It has a standard size female end so if there is a basket or something to put on the end it should work. Recognize anything that long takes some strength to hold. Sorry I could not be more help but since I am from MN where coconuts don't grow......

I don't know what slightly rapping the outside of the coconut means, however, this tool is for coconuts whose meat is mature and hence stuck to the shell pretty hard. Without a prying tool, I don't know how you can get it out. This happens to be a damn good prying tool.

Yes, I think so. I use it to with almond milk to make naturally flavored coffee creamers and I have had to cut down on the amount of coconut I use because it is so intense.

Yes, it is great to open coconuts. This is very sharp so be careful. It can be scary using this.

No, the coconut is too heavy for this tool. It does not have a blade to assist in cutting the attachment stem.This tool is excellent for picking apples, oranges, avocados, limes and lemons. We found picking papayas challenging but possible.

I can not say it any better than A. Crowe did. Absolutely right. I love this tool for coconuts!!

Yes, you can cook with it and I have used it. It gave a nice light coconut flavor to chichen.
