strips of chicken or fish (normally) covered in breadcrumbs and shallow fried - good for dunking and are cheap to make.

Onions!
No onions in stir-fry should be banned!

would shallow fry just be a drizzle of oil and frying them in it like sausages etc?

Speaking of witch fried sausages are far greater than grilled.

Also please keep in mind, about 70% of the times I've been ill has been self inflicted food poisoning

Tefal - surly the cooker has some kind of grill and you also have the oven that you can use.

Won't get you anywhere if you do that tbh.
Make it about half an inch of oil minimum - depending on the size you're shallow frying.

it has a grill which does not work and produces lots of smoke when you try it, no oven though and only 2 hobs.

ahh though that might be it, we aren't allowed to do cooking like that after someone nearly burnt one of the halls down a couple of years ago

Nope, far more oil than that.

Wikipedia said:
Shallow frying is a type of pan frying using only enough fat to immerse approximately one-third to one-half of each piece of food; fat used in this technique is typically only used once.

Well, bring up the "human rights" to their face - as long as you're careful, not a retard with oil (and water at the same time), don't walk away when you're heating up the oil, you'll be fine.

Otherwise, omit the shallow/deep frying and go pan fried, pan grill and the likes.

I live in catered halls aswell.

I'm sure they're probably talking about deep fat frying that you can't do - that seems a pretty normal halls rule - not letting you shallow fry is just silly - and how would they know?!

yeah think I'll have to we're not allowed to put oil or fat down the sink as it blocks them up*, yes the hall is ancient, almost as old as Big kev.

*which is why geroge foreman grills are also banned

I have no idea how people find cooking hard; it's just following basic instructions. You only go off of the basic instructions when you know what you're doing.
