MKN Cooking Module 7EPST022XF – Electric

Seventy-five litres of working volume at 10 kW makes the MKN 7EPST022XF a mid-size electric cooking module suited to bulk production without taking over the cooking line. The pan is dimensioned to accept GN 2/1 containers, so capacity planning can be done in familiar gastro norm terms.

On a vessel this size class lets the same unit handle sauces, sides or small one-pot dishes without tying up a full battery kettle. The 10 kW load is significant in a confined galley but manageable on a properly planned 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz distribution, and the deck area it occupies is easier to fit into a broken galley footprint than a larger body would be. Net weight is 158 kg, which also matters when the structural team checks deck loadings and substructure details under the appliance.

Internally, all wetted parts are specified in stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L). That choice puts the cooking surface and contact zones on a grade suited to high-salinity vapour and the chemical regime of a ship’s galley, not just to gentle shore-side duty. The radiused internal corners are there to make that stainless surface cleanable in practice; there are fewer tight angles for food soil or scale to sit in, which shortens cleaning down and helps the installation support USPH-style hygiene plans.

The hinged lid is part of the thermal and condensate story as much as the ergonomic one. Run closed, it helps control steam release into the room and improves energy use; open it and the unit behaves like an open pan for browning or reduction work. The datasheet gives the heat the module rejects into the space: 4,000 W of latent and 4,500 W of sensible heat. Those figures belong in the HVAC calculation, because in an enclosed marine galley that load lands directly on the air-conditioning and extraction plant rather than disappearing into a large room.

Build and control

• Accepts GN 2/1 containers
• Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) wetted parts
• Radiused internal corners for hygienic cleaning
• Hinged lid
• IP-rated water protection

This module is a good fit where a galley needs a dedicated 75-litre electric pan on the 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz bus and wants 1.4404 (AISI 316L) on all wetted parts, for example in a main or crew galley cooking in GN 2/1 containers. It is the wrong choice where production routinely exceeds 75 litres per batch or where the electrical board cannot comfortably spare a 10 kW circuit; in those cases larger or alternative-heated vessels should be considered.
