MKN Cast Iron Cooking Table 7EHEG084XSTEB – Oven, Electric

16.55 kW of installed electrical power on a single cast iron cooking table gives this unit real production headroom for a main galley line. The MKN 7EHEG084XSTEB combines that heating capacity with a hinged lid and integrated oven, so one footprint can cover pot cooking on the plate and baking or roasting below.

Shipboard, the electrical supply is the first constraint, and this table is specified for 380–415 V. That aligns with typical three-phase marine distributions without needing adaptation, but the actual breaker size and diversity have to be planned against the 16.55 kW draw. The heat the appliance throws into the room also lands on the HVAC plant: 1,988 W of latent and 4,713 W of sensible heat emission are not abstract figures in an enclosed galley, they go straight into the ventilation and cooling calculation.

At 150 kg net weight and 160 kg gross, the cooking table is a substantial piece of equipment that expects a fixed position on a properly prepared foundation. That mass works in its favour in a seaway, but it also means the yard or refit team must confirm deck strength and how the unit will be anchored and sealed to meet marine hygiene requirements. The DIN 18851 compliance places it in the commercial-kitchen standard for construction and operation, which is the baseline most inspectors expect to see referenced on hot-line equipment.

Thermostatic temperature control simplifies daily use, particularly where less-experienced crew rotate through the galley. Once a working setting is established for a given menu, the plate temperature can be held without continuous manual adjustment, helping to keep pans at a consistent heat rather than cycling widely. The hinged lid gives the option to trap heat over the cast iron surface and the oven space below, which can improve recovery and reduce heat loss into the room when the top is not in active use.

The electrical specification of 380–415 V should be checked against the vessel’s switchboard and any local distribution transformers before the unit is committed to a position. A 16.55 kW load concentrated in one appliance can drive both cable sizing and the layout of other large consumers in the same galley section. In a refit, it often replaces more than one smaller hotplate or range, so understanding the net change in installed power matters.

Build and control

• Complies with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens
• Thermostatic temperature control
• Hinged lid

This cooking table suits a production galley that needs a strong, fixed hot surface and an electric oven in a single module, with enough connected load to support continuous service. It is the wrong choice where the electrical allowance is tight or where the concept calls for modular, easily repositioned equipment; the 150 kg mass and 16.55 kW rating make this a planned, engineered installation rather than a plug-in device.
