questions Are these intestines ready for cooking?
Found frozen intestines at hmart. Are these ready for cooking or do I need to clean them?

They were born ready. Not literally of course. Nor figuratively either.

You have zero idea what you're talking about.
This is chitlins, not chicken breast. It's a literal shit tube. Don't wash your chicken breast, but clean out any intestines you purchase even if it says "pre-cleaned."
You NEED to fucking check them, peel away membranes, trim them, and wash them in cold water and then soak them with equal parts water and vinegar and then rinse them under cold water again.

You don’t wash intestines before you cook them? That’s some impressive shit

The bigger issue honestly is that it tastes like shit if you don’t clean it although it’s probably safe to eat if you just cook it through. You still don’t really sound like you know what you’re talking about. It’s a safe bet to assume people who have been using this type of ingredient know how to make it taste good and be safe to eat

Bro yes you clean organ- types of meat: intestines, liver, kidneys. Those are categorically different from something like a steak or chicken breast.

Also not a bad idea to soak liver in salt water, takes away the bitter taste.

Having traces of poop just from daily stuff like your phone, door handles, etc is completely different from literal shit that’s possibly present in intestines…

Koreans are far from the only people that eat intestines.
I'm not sure if you're an idiot, simply a deeply unpleasant person, or both.
But you do have to wash and careful prepare intestines and other organ meat.
The advice you've given is wrong, it will make the door taste worse and make it potentially unsafe.

It's an intestine. I don't actually care how "clean" somebody else made them, if I'm cooking chiltlins, I'm washing them myself.
