MKN Electric Griddle Plate 2121130 – Smooth, Optima 700

A 705 x 545 mm smooth plate in a body measuring 800 x 700 mm gives the 2121130 a large continuous frying surface relative to its footprint. Coupled with a single work zone and 10.8 kW electrical power, the plate is configured for straightforward, full-area frying in an Optima 700 line.

On board, the published 800 x 700 x 700 mm overall dimensions simplify galley planning because they match the Optima 700 modular grid rather than a one-off form factor. The 400 V electrical rating allows the unit to be tied into an existing cooking distribution section where the vessel is already running 400 V for other appliances, instead of needing a dedicated feed. With a net weight of 95 kg and a gross weight of 104 kg for handling, the body has enough mass to sit securely once fixed to the deck structure as defined in the yard’s scheme.

The work surface size and zoning define how this griddle will run in service. One work zone across 705 x 545 mm means there is a single temperature setpoint to watch, so the same setting carries across the entire area. For a galley producing a single breakfast or lunch run at a time, the absence of multiple zones removes the need to manage different temperatures and allows the plate to be loaded freely. The 10.8 kW connected load is concentrated into that single zone, avoiding the split of power between separate circuits.

From a layout perspective, the 800 mm length slots against other Optima 700 modules to form an aligned cooking line, and the 700 mm height keeps the working plane in line with matching equipment in the same series. The smooth surface suits products that need full metal-to-food contact and gives the crew a continuous plane to scrape and clean at the end of service, without grooves or ribs. In a tight galley this reduces cleaning time around the 705 x 545 mm working area.

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 is a strong option where the requirement is a single-zone electric griddle that matches Optima 700 geometry and can be supplied at 400 V with space allocated for an 800 x 700 mm module. It is the wrong choice where the cooking concept relies on independently controlled hot and cooler areas on the same plate, or where the available deck space cannot accommodate a 700 mm corpus depth.
