MKN Electric Griddle Plate 1221103 – Smooth, CounterSL

Seven point two kilowatts into a single smooth plate and one work zone define the MKN 1221103 electric griddle. The working surface is 420 x 545 mm inside a 500 x 700 x 270 mm CounterSL body, so this unit concentrates a full griddle function into a compact footprint suited to a bar or snack counter rather than a main cooking line.

On a vessel this low height and small plan area matter where the griddle has to sit on a front counter or in a tight servery, not back in the main galley. The 270 mm corpus height lets designers keep sightlines over the equipment and fit the unit under canopies and deckheads that would be too low for full-height cooking modules. At 52 kg net weight, with a 60 kg gross shipping weight, it is also straightforward to manhandle into position through narrow doors and companionways before it is fixed down or integrated into a counter run.

Electrically the griddle draws 7.2 kW at 400 V, so it sits comfortably on a small three-phase branch from a standard shipboard distribution board. For the galley planner that is a predictable load in the electrical balance, and for the HVAC calculation it is a defined heat source in a confined serving area. With one work zone to manage, a cook has the full plate under a single thermostatic control rather than having to split the surface between multiple temperature bands.

The working surface dimensions of 420 x 545 mm give enough depth for a row of portions across the front with holding space behind, but within a 500 x 700 mm overall footprint that leaves counter space for other appliances or plating. A single-zone layout like this makes sense where the menu calls for one temperature regime during a service, for example a breakfast line or a fixed burger or grill station, rather than mixed-temperature à la carte work.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• Ergonomic knob control
• Thermostatic temperature control

This unit is a good fit where a compact, single-temperature griddle is needed on a low CounterSL line and where 7.2 kW at 400 V is available without stressing the electrical margin. It is the wrong choice for a main galley that needs several independent temperature zones or a larger frying surface, where wider or multi-zone bodies in the same family should be specified.
