MKN Electric Griddle Plate 2121127A – Smooth, Ribbed, Optima 700

Seven point two kilowatts on a 500 x 540 mm plate is a focused cooking surface for a compact Optima 700 line. At 600 x 700 x 700 mm overall, the 2121127A occupies a single module in depth but still gives enough length for a practical smooth and ribbed grilling area.

That footprint matters in a shipboard galley where 700 mm body depth defines the line and every additional module has to be justified against circulation space and passageway clearances. A single work zone means straightforward loading patterns and predictable electrical demand on a 400 V distribution, which simplifies coordination with the vessel’s panel schedule. Net weight of 70 kg is light enough for handling onto a plinth or into an equipment rack without overloading the deck, but still gives a stable base once fixed.

The working surface of 500 x 540 mm gives a usable area that sits slightly inboard of the 600 x 700 mm body, which keeps spillage and grease within the plate envelope rather than at the edge of the line. One work zone across that surface aligns with a single thermostatic control, avoiding temperature bands that can confuse crew training and making it clear what load is being imposed when the plate cycles. Electrical power of 7.2 kW is appropriate for this area: high enough to recover heat between batches, yet still manageable for smaller galleys that do not have the capacity for larger modules in the same series.

Height at 700 mm allows this unit to integrate under a common top with other Optima 700 appliances. That continuity is important on board where equipment is often installed as a continuous run, sealed to a plinth or foundation to meet hygiene and cleaning requirements. Gross weight of 77 kg gives a realistic shipping figure for planning crane lifts and routeing through hatches or doorways during a refit.

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 vessels needing a single-zone electric griddle within a 700 mm-deep line, where 7.2 kW at 400 V fits comfortably within the available electrical margin and service pattern. It is not the right choice for a main grill station expected to run multiple independent temperature zones or for a galley built around gas rather than electric cooking.
