MKN Electric Griddle Plate 1321103 – Smooth, HotLine

Seven point two kilowatts on a single smooth plate gives the 1321103 enough surface power to run a full 420 x 545 mm cooking area without cold spots. In a 500 x 700 x 700 mm HotLine body, it is a compact electric griddle that still offers a usable zone for continuous searing and finishing.

On a vessel, that 400 V electrical specification drops straight into the standard galley distribution without special supplies. Heat is contained on the plate rather than in open flames, which eases the ventilation and fire-suppression design for the line where this unit sits. At 70 kg net weight, it is substantial enough to sit solidly on a counter or cooking suite; once the yard mounts and seals it to a plinth or support, it becomes part of the galley structure in the way marine inspections expect.

The working surface of 420 x 545 mm suits a production line where the griddle is one of several components, not the only cooking appliance. It will carry a run of portions for à la carte service or a steady stream of items on a buffet or crew line without forcing the operator into multiple passes per order. With one work zone, temperature control is straightforward: the whole plate is set from a single thermostat via the front knob, and the operator does not have to track multiple setpoints in a busy service. The overall footprint of 500 x 700 mm allows it to sit in a standard 700 mm-deep block with other HotLine modules, sharing a consistent edge and splash zone.

At 700 mm overall height, the unit can form the working level on a stand or suite without additional framing. Gross weight of 80 kg is the figure to plan around when it is handled through the ship or lifted into position; it also sets the floor-loading check for lightweight superstructure decks.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• Single work zone with smooth plate surface
• Ergonomic knob control on the front
• Thermostatic temperature control across the plate
• Prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system

This griddle is the right choice where a single-zone, 7.2 kW plate is enough capacity and where the galley design favours simple knob control and straightforward integration into an energy optimisation system. It is not the right fit for a main production line that needs multiple independently controlled zones on one surface or a significantly larger griddle area.
