Rub the salt mixture onto each piece of seitan and place into hot skillet. Cook, turning so that all sides have a chance to brown for a total of 10 minutes. Place the seitan into a greased crockpot.
Player the potatoes, carrots and onions on top of the seitan.

Cook on high for 8 hours.
To serve, place vegetables into a serving dish. Take out seitan and thinly slice using a serrated knife. Spoon gravy onto seitan or place on table so guests can help themselves.
