I had to laugh at the pan of meatballs with the thermometer sticking in them. It's the way to do it, but it just struck me as very funny. I love the crust that develops from frying them, but it sure is easier to do it in the oven.

Big Dude, I think you're onto something with #9! I never do the oven method because I like a nice crust, so I always do them in a skillet. But, as you noted, they get a bit out of round.

I'...Wow, what a great little experiement Larry. I've grown up on meatballs. My Italian grandmother would make them both ways, in a skillet or in the oven, depending on her mood. My mom always pan fried them. Me.. well I tend to be more like my grandmother, depends on my mood. But I do tend to like a crispier crust on the outside of my meatballs. All I really know is that last pictures makes me want a big old plate of it right now!!!
