Browning meats and poultry before simmering in the slow cooker will give depth of flavor plus a picture-perfect presentation, so don't be tempted to skip it. Pat the meat dry with paper towels before seasoning. In a heavy stainless-steel or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet (not nonstick) over medium to medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until hot enough for the oil to shimmer--the meat should hiss and sizzle immediately. Be sure not to crowd the pan; doing so drops the temp, causing the meat to steam rather than form a crisp crust. Don't turn the meat until the bottom is well browned.
