4. After cutting, open it slowly from bottom to top along the cut with your hands, and pry it open to both sides. When you reach the top, open it directly to both sides.

5. There may be a lot of hidden flesh inside, and you need to open it again. Because durian grows in several petals. They are all merged together one by one. So as long as you find the merged opening and open it along the merged opening, it will be very easy.
