I've read a lot of guidance on cooking steaks followed by the "big chill" followed by warming then searing. Any advice on the same approach for burgers? Plan to sous vide a couple of 8 ounce burgers tomorrow morning followed by an ice bath for 30 minutes then in the fridge until the evening. Can I warm them on the charcoal grill then sear them? Thanks!

Most of the let cool or quick ice bath for steaks is so you don’t overcook on the seat.
I don’t understand the need to cook, ice bath, fridge and reheat for something that takes 30-40 min to cook sous vide in the first place. Seems like a lot of extra steps and extra time for no benefit. Cook the burgers and then let rest/dry on paper towels for 10 min while you are firing up the grill to super hot temps Then sear 30-60 sec per side. If you are worried about overcookimg, you can ice bath for a few min immediately after sous vide.
