Cook sequence from this cut sheet
Follow published Large intestine — teaching, not a thermometer app.
Name the cut — Confirm Large intestine on the sheet.
Pick doneness — Target Medium rare ~57°C.
Pair first method — Lead with Grilling.
Keep safety note — Eat it before the fat renders and it turns heavy. Keep going until the surface browns and shrinks.
Last-vs-now is a pin — Cook-pair is a bookmark, not a certificate.
Large intestine: Medium rare (57°C) via Grilling.

Substitute cut and safety stop
After the cook sequence for Large intestine, a second sheet pass: published swap cut plus the safety line already on this page.
Name the printed substitute — If Large intestine is missing at the counter, the sheet points to related cut Small intestine — same atlas, not inventing a new primal.
Check shared method fit — Prefer a published method that still fits the substitute; lead method on this sheet is Grilling.
Hard stop on safety — Eat it before the fat renders and it turns heavy. Keep going until the surface browns and shrinks.
Keep cook-pair as a pin — Saving a cook-pair bookmarks this sheet; it is not a food-safety certificate.
Large intestine → swap toward Small intestine; stop on the printed safety line before plating.

Doneness and method on this cut
What temperature does this page recommend for this cut?
The cut sheet already prints Low–medium, very patient (Render the fat out) for Large intestine. That is the published recommendation on this page, not a live thermometer reading.
Which cooking method fits this cut?
This sheet lists Grilling · Hot pot · Stir-fry with fitness scores. Pair one of those methods with a doneness from the published scale (Blue 46 C through Well done 77 C). The cook-pair block pins last versus now — teaching, not a diagnosis.
Can I serve this cut pink?
Follow the sheet note already on this page: Eat it before the fat renders and it turns heavy. Keep going until the surface browns and shrinks. Connective-tissue cuts ask for time; tender steaks ask for a rest after the published temp. The safety note at the bottom still applies.
Is the doneness scale a food-safety certificate?
No. The pair tool and the recommended temp are teaching numbers from this atlas. Use the printed sheet and your own thermometer. This page is not a medical or hygiene certificate.

Large intestine. Instead of the milky gop of the small intestine it carries a thick fat sheet that butchers fold inward, so oil keeps rendering the whole time it cooks. The fattiest 100 g in this atlas — a few pieces are a serving.

Fat folded in evenly. A lump on one side will scorch while the rest stays pale.
