MKN Electric Griddle Plate 1221135A – Smooth, CounterSL

Seven point two kilowatts onto a single smooth plate with a 420 x 545 mm working surface is a concentrated footprint for a front-cooking counter. In a 500 x 700 x 270 mm CounterSL body, the 1221135A keeps the depth of a full kitchen module but drops the height so it can sit on a servery or low counter without dominating the line.

On board, that 700 mm depth matters because it matches the shallow CounterSL line rather than the deeper main galley blocks, so this unit can be set into buffet, snack or crew counters where space is tight and access is from the guest side. The 270 mm corpus height keeps sightlines open on a passenger vessel and leaves room for under-counter refrigeration or storage. At 52 kg net weight, the unit is substantial enough that it needs a proper fixing concept to the counter, but it can still be moved or swapped during a refit without structural work. With a 400 V electrical supply and 7.2 kW load, the griddle is an easy fit on a typical galley distribution board without approaching the larger cooking centres’ demands.

The single work zone simplifies operation in open-counter environments where one cook is handling multiple appliances. Thermostatic temperature control, driven from an ergonomic knob, lets the plate be set to a stable cooking temperature that does not drift with changing loads through a service. The 420 mm length of the surface is enough for a row of portions, while the 545 mm width runs front to back on the 700 mm module, leaving a small perimeter for splash control and tool handling. That balance between surface area and power means the plate heats up briskly and recovers quickly as cold product is loaded, which is important when the galley has no spare capacity to shift load to another station.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout gives a known material for both hygiene and corrosion resistance. For a shipboard installation this means the external surfaces can take the regular detergent cleaning regime of a marine galley without special treatment. The self-supporting closed construction keeps wiring and insulation enclosed inside the body, which is relevant where spray and steam from adjacent equipment can otherwise find their way into cavities or open frames. With gross weight at 60 kg, packaging and handling can be planned so the unit passes through narrow doors or hatches between shore and the final galley position.

This CounterSL griddle suits ships that need a compact, single-zone electric plate on a low counter line rather than a full-height cooking suite, such as buffet islands or small crew galleys. It is the wrong choice where a galley needs multiple independent temperature zones or a much larger grilling surface; in those cases a larger body or multi-zone module from the same manufacturer should be considered.
