Sous vide reheat

Options
Planning to cook for a work function this coming Friday. Gonna do 20lbs of pork butt and chocolate pot de creme. 

Plan is to smoke the butts Sunday or Monday and reheat Friday for the event via sous vide. Question is, how long do you think it will take to get up to serving temp? 140 a good reheat temp?

Thanks!

    I do 1 lb packages at 160° (or so) for about 15-20 minutes.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I flatten out and seal .so it's thin, doesn't take long, but since SV you can't really start to early ..

    If it's for groups or people I don't know, I reheat to 165 per food health and saftey requirements ...i don't for me  =)

    Is that the procedure for reheating sous vide?  Reheating at 165 degrees?  Very timely thread, thanks @Leopoldstoch .

    What are the usual cook times for vacuum sealed food?  Refrigerated and frozen?  Thx.

    Reheated some vacuum sealed frozen ribs in the sous vide from a 4th of July a year later and tasted like they just came off the smoker. Excellent way to reheat. I usually get it to 160 or so. Couple of hours. Have reheated pulled pork, ribs, and pork belly burnt ends this way. All excellent.

    I sous vide reheated some vacuum sealed brisket and pork ribs at 165 for about an hour and a half last night.  Turned out great!
