This is how you are supposed to cook a meal, especially meat.

1. Buy meat.
2. Prepare meat with sauces, rubs, spices etc..
3. Cook meat.
4. Let meat rest for 10-15 minutes (depending on size and time constraints
and how warm you want to eat it or how hungry you are!).
5. Eat it.

Why would you finish cooking at 2am in the morning and have to wait until
10am and then serve it for lunch?

What did you eat in the meantime?
