Are you saying that I can bring the sealed meat back up to temp (say, 130*) and ready to sear in 5 minutes?
You can cook meats the night before, and bring them back to temp from the fridge, but it is probably more than 5 minutes. They will not cook any more bringing them back up to temperature.
BTW, Chef Steps has a pretty good time and temperature guide in PDF form at their website.
