MKN Electric Grill Pan 1322509 – Smooth, HotLine

A 705 x 545 mm smooth pan surface and a 37 litre capacity set the scale of the MKN 1322509 HotLine electric grill pan. With one work zone and 10.8 kW connected load, it is dimensioned for focused batch production rather than spread-out multi-zone frying.

On board, the 800 x 700 mm footprint and 700 mm unit height help this pan drop into a standard line without disturbing the layout. The single 400 V electrical connection and 10.8 kW rating are straightforward to integrate into a typical galley distribution board, but still significant enough that the electrical load has to be planned alongside ovens and kettles. Net weight is 92 kg, with 103 kg gross for handling and installation, so foundations, flanged feet or plinth design can be detailed with accurate numbers rather than estimates.

The working surface measures 705 x 545 x 100 mm, giving useful wall height for liquids while still accessible for turning and cleaning. A 37 litre capacity allows for sauces, shallow poaching or frying in volume without moving to a separate kettle or fryer, which can simplify the cook line on a vessel where every additional appliance has both a space and a power cost. The single work zone means temperature is uniform across the plate, so the operator is not managing competing setpoints on one surface.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) is used throughout, which matches common galley fabrication and simplifies cleaning regimes and spares. The self-supporting closed construction gives the body its stiffness, which matters once the unit is bolted or welded into a run of equipment and has to carry daily thermal cycling and ship vibration without twisting. At 800 x 700 x 700 mm overall, this grill pan aligns with other HotLine and modular bodies, so bridging, joint covers and side infills can be detailed cleanly.

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

Ergonomic knob control and thermostatic temperature regulation suit galleys that prefer straightforward manual setting over menus or touch interfaces, and they are easy to understand across changing crews. Preparedness for connection to an energy optimisation system is relevant where the vessel runs load-shedding or peak limitation on the galley bus; this pan can participate in that scheme rather than tripping breakers when other high-demand appliances start.

This unit is a good fit where a single, smooth, medium-capacity pan is needed in a compact cooking line, and where operators value simple controls and fixed, uniform temperature across the surface. It is less suitable where split-temperature zones on one plate are required, or where very large volumes push the galley towards bigger or multiple pans from the same manufacturer.
