    This is a bizarre claim. It appears to be based on a video in which a durian is briefly exposed to a 3300 degree torch. Anything more than that would obviously reduce the whole fruit to char.

      Yeah, it doesn’t withstand it, it just burns slowly because of moist in it. So even less would be enough, given time

      It’s also why a solid wood beam does better in a fire than steel. Once the outside is charred it shields the inside and the beam can keep a good bit of its strength before eventually failing once the outer layers get burned through. The steel heats up quickly and goes soft long before its melting point.

      I feel like we are ignoring the evaporative power of moisture that the fruit, and not the steel beam, can utilize. Metal transforms along the entire heating process, the durian will evaporate until a husk and then immediately be immolated.
