MKN Electric Grill Pan 10013256 – Smooth, HotLine

Fifteen litres in a 300 x 540 mm smooth pan gives this HotLine module a compact but usable grilling and shallow-frying surface for a single work zone. At 400 x 700 x 700 mm overall, article 10013256 slots into a standard 700 mm-deep cooking line without overloading a small section of the galley.

On a vessel, a 5.4 kW electric load at 400 V is modest enough to fit into a typical galley sub-distribution without special measures, yet high enough to keep a 15 litre pan responsive during service. The 700 mm height keeps the working surface accessible within a typical galley layout while leaving room under-counter for services or storage as the furniture design allows. Because the footprint is 400 x 700 mm, it can be planned as a single station in a run of HotLine or other modular equipment where deck space is tight and every 400 mm module has to earn its place.

The working surface dimensions and capacity matter once the menu and headcount are clear. A 300 x 540 x 100 mm pan lets the crew handle portions in a single layer across the smooth surface, with 15 litres total volume available when shallow poaching or holding sauces and garnishes. With one work zone, the whole surface follows the same thermostat setting, which simplifies operation for teams working in shifts and rotating through the station. Electrical power of 5.4 kW at 400 V keeps the temperature recovery time acceptable when cold product is introduced, without driving up the ship’s overall galley connected load as much as a larger multi-zone appliance would.

Physically, the 400 x 700 x 700 mm body is straightforward to integrate with other HotLine modules along the same depth, keeping joints tight and minimising dirt traps at the interfaces. In refits where existing counters or plinths are already built around a 700 mm depth, this unit’s geometry avoids structural changes and allows a like-for-like replacement of older pans or griddles with a smooth-surfaced grill pan in the same bay.

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

The combination of thermostatic temperature control and simple knob operation suits a galley where different crew rotate through the line and need predictable, repeatable settings rather than complex multi-stage programming. Prepared connection to an energy optimisation system is relevant where the ship runs several electric cooking appliances from the same distribution and wants to manage peak loads across them.

This grill pan is the right choice where a single 400 x 700 mm position is available and a smooth, single-zone surface is sufficient for the menu. It is less suitable where separate temperature zones or a larger grilling area are essential, because the 300 x 540 mm working surface and one work zone cannot be expanded without moving to a larger body in the range.
