MKN Cast Iron Cooking Table 7EHEG084XHV – Chrome-plated, Electric

Twelve kilowatts of connected load on a single chrome-plated cast iron surface gives the 7EHEG084XHV its character as a heavy-duty cooking table. At a net weight of 107 kg it is a substantial module rather than a light counter-top appliance, intended as part of a fixed galley line.

On board, the electrical supply is often the first constraint. This unit is specified for 380–415 V, so it sits comfortably in the typical shipboard three-phase range instead of needing adaptation from a shore-only specification. Heat rejection matters as much as connected power in an enclosed galley: the data sheet gives 1,260 W of latent and 3,120 W of sensible heat emission, figures the HVAC designer will need when balancing extraction and cooling capacity in the cooking area.

With 12 kW available, the cooking table is sized for continuous pan work rather than occasional reheating. The chrome-plated cast iron top offers even heat distribution over the surface, which suits larger pots and pans that move across the zone during service. The hinged lid is part of how the unit is intended to be operated at sea: closed over the hot plate between services it helps to contain vapour and splashes locally, rather than letting them rise uncontrolled into the galley. When the lid is up and the surface is in use, the specified heat emissions give a clear picture of how much load is being added to the room.

The published weights — 107 kg net and 116 kg gross — are relevant when planning installation on a vessel where deck loadings are calculated and lifting gear is scheduled tightly. A cooking table at this mass needs proper handling and a fixed foundation, not a casual placement, and the weight difference between net and gross is low enough that packaging is not a major logistics factor.

Build and control

• Complies with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens
• Hinged lid over the chrome-plated cast iron surface
• IP-rated water protection for spray-down cleaning routines

Compliance with DIN 18851 places this table in the category of equipment designed around commercial kitchen requirements, which aligns with the expectations of classification societies and yard specifiers. IP-rated water protection is significant aboard because routine cleaning often uses hoses or spray, and equipment that is not built for that regime becomes a failure point under marine hygiene inspections.

This model is a sound choice where the galley concept calls for a high-power solid cooking surface fed from a 380–415 V electrical system and where the HVAC and extraction plant can absorb 1,260 W of latent plus 3,120 W of sensible heat. It is the wrong choice where fine-grained temperature zoning or very low standby heat into the room are the overriding priorities, because the unit is fundamentally a large, single-surface cast iron table rather than a multi-zone induction layout.
