MKN Electric Grill Pan 10013254 – Smooth, Optima 850

A 15-litre pan volume on a 300 x 540 mm smooth surface defines the MKN 10013254 electric grill pan. Built as a single work zone in the Optima 850 series footprint of 400 x 850 x 700 mm, it is a compact module for focused cooking rather than bulk production.

On board, that footprint matters because Optima 850 lines are often planned as continuous runs with little spare deck length. At 400 mm wide this unit occupies a narrow slot while still giving a 300 mm by 540 mm working surface, which suits a station that handles a single product stream instead of mixed loads. The capacity of 15 litres gives enough depth for sauces, shallow frying or holding without committing to the larger bodies that demand more power and space.

Electrical loading is 5.4 kW at 400 V, which is modest in the context of a main galley distribution board. That rating allows it to sit alongside other Optima 850 appliances without tipping an electrical section over its design limit, useful when retrofitting into an existing line where spare breaker capacity is finite. With one work zone the operator does not have to manage multiple temperature bands across the surface; thermostatic temperature control stabilises the set point across the 300 x 540 mm plate area, so the whole 15-litre volume behaves predictably.

The overall height of 700 mm lets the unit integrate cleanly into an Optima 850 cooking suite with a consistent working level. A smooth pan surface simplifies transfer of pans and gastronorm containers across adjacent modules, which is often the point of building an Optima 850 block in the first place. The 100 mm depth of the working surface is enough to contain liquids at volume without risking spill-over in normal use, keeping surrounding modules cleaner and reducing the load on deck drains and cleaning routines.

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 unit is the right choice where a line needs a single, well-defined electric grill or pan position with 15 litres capacity and a 5.4 kW connection, for example a dedicated sauce, holding or finishing station in an Optima 850 block. It is less suitable where multiple temperature zones on one surface are required, or where very high throughput would justify a larger module with more than one work zone.
