How to brown meatballs evenly?

I like to cook meatballs in the oven, as I think it lends the kind of even browning you're looking for. I usually cook (golf ball-sized) meatballs at 375F for about 15-18 minutes, just until they are cooked through, but still tender. However, if you will be finishing yours in sauce, perhaps cook them for 12-15 minutes; just long enough to brown them on the outside.

I agree but will add that I do my meatballs in the oven using a mini cupcake tin, makes it very easy to turn them and excess fat stays behind in the well. It's really fab and they brown fabulously. LOVE meatballs :))

That ring around the middle is likely an indication you didn't have quite enough oil in the pan.
