How do you brown meat before slow cooker? ›

Brown the meat in the hot oil for several minutes on each side. Rotate it carefully so that the grease doesn't splash onto your skin. Remove the seared meat and place it in the crockpot you'll use to roast it.

What happens if you don't sear meat before slow cooking? ›
