MKN Electric Grill Pan 1222509 – Smooth, CounterSL

Ten point eight kilowatts on a single smooth pan surface sized 705 x 545 mm gives this CounterSL unit a clear role: fast grilling and searing on a compact front-cooking line. With a quoted capacity of 37 litres in the 100 mm deep working surface, it will carry a solid load of product without losing contact to the plate.

At 800 x 700 x 270 mm overall, the body height of this grill pan matches the low CounterSL corpus, which suits buffet and serving counters where the cooking surface has to stay visible to guests but the equipment must not block sightlines. In a shipboard setting that low build reduces the perceived mass of the cooking block in a public area, and it also helps under-canopy installations where deckhead height is tight. The 78 kg net weight is manageable for getting the unit aboard and into position, yet once fixed it has enough mass to sit stable on a properly prepared support.

The electrical specification is 10.8 kW at 400 V, so it slots naturally into a three-phase galley distribution that already feeds other heavy cooking loads. That power level, concentrated into a single work zone, means the plate recovers heat quickly between loads, which is the practical concern when running a continuous service on a small surface. The 100 mm depth of the working surface, combined with the 37 litre stated capacity, points to a plate engineered to hold product securely without spillover while still giving the operator space to work.

Overall dimensions of 800 x 700 x 270 mm also simplify planning alongside other CounterSL bodies, which share the 700 mm depth and low height. The gross weight of 87 kg, only modestly above the net figure, gives a sense of how much margin needs to be allowed in handling and any lifting arrangements during installation.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• Ergonomic knob control
• Thermostatic temperature control

This grill pan is well suited to bistros, snack points or buffet stations where a single 705 x 545 mm smooth surface is enough to handle the menu, and where the 270 mm body height lets the cooking integrate into a serving counter. It is the wrong choice for a main galley production line that needs multiple independent work zones or a larger grilling area; those installations should look to bigger bodies or multi-zone modules in the same manufacturer’s portfolio.
