MKN Electric Griddle Plate 2021127 – Smooth, Ribbed, Optima 850

7.2 kW on a single work zone defines the 2021127 electric griddle plate. The working surface of 500 x 540 mm is set into a 600 x 850 x 700 mm Optima 850 body, so it lines up with the rest of an 850‑deep cooking block without adapters.

On a shipboard line this footprint matters as much as power. The 600 mm width leaves room in a constrained galley run to place a matching module either side, while the 850 mm depth matches the Optima 850 grid that many designers already use in their cooking islands. Being an electric unit at 400 V, it can be fed from a standard three‑phase galley distribution rather than needing its own dedicated supply specification from the yard.

The single work zone is a planning choice. With 1 zone across the 500 x 540 mm plate, the whole surface follows the same thermostatic setting instead of being split into cooler and hotter bands. That favours repetition work where the galley team needs one stable temperature for a batch, and it simplifies operation for crews rotating through the cooking station. At a net weight of 77 kg and a gross shipping weight of 86 kg, the unit is substantial enough to sit as part of a fixed block, and the weight figure is one a naval architect can plug into deck load calculations.

The full body size of 600 x 850 x 700 mm is the part the galley designer works with in the elevation and section drawings. It closes gaps in an Optima 850 line, keeping the upper surfaces co‑planar so pans and trays can be moved along the block without catching. The single‑zone configuration also concentrates the 7.2 kW on one circuit, which simplifies the electrical panel layout compared with multi‑zone variants at similar total width.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• Ergonomic knob control
• Prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system
• Thermostatic temperature control

This configuration suits a main cooking line that needs one consistent grilling temperature across a modest 500 x 540 mm plate, integrated into a 600 x 850 mm Optima 850 module. It is the wrong choice where the menu calls for separate temperature zones on one plate, because the 1‑zone layout cannot be split for simultaneous low‑ and high‑temperature work.
