MKN Electric Tilting Bratt Pan 10019140 – Optima 850

A 65 litre pan volume on a 700 x 540 mm working surface gives this Optima 850 bratt pan a compact but usable footprint for main galley cooking. At 11 kW connected load on 400 V, it sits in the mid-range for electrical demand within a modular cooking line.

On board, the 1300 x 850 x 700 mm body dimension decides where this pan can be placed in an Optima 850 run and how much deck it takes from the cooking side of the galley. The 700 mm height and single work zone mean it matches a standard cooking suite line without stepping the work surface. Net weight at 222 kg, with a gross shipping weight of 262 kg, is a reminder that the galley foundation and any plinth or flanged-foot arrangement need to be engineered as part of the ship’s structure, not treated as furniture.

The 65 litre capacity and 210 mm pan depth are suited to shallow frying, braising and bulk preparation where batches are moderate in size but frequent. With one work zone, there is no internal zoning to split the pan, so the whole base follows a single temperature setpoint from the thermostatic control. For many ship galleys this is acceptable, because menu planning groups similar cooking tasks on one appliance at a time to keep service predictable and cleaning cycles manageable.

Being prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system matters in a plant room and galley that share a finite electrical envelope. An 11 kW appliance that can be load-managed alongside combi steamers and boilers is easier for the electrical designer to integrate without over-sizing switchboards or feeders. The 400 V supply specification aligns with common three-phase marine and offshore installations where bespoke voltages are avoided in favour of a defined plant standard.

The double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip has a direct impact on both heat loss and the environment around the pan. Closing the lid reduces radiant and convective heat into the galley and keeps steam and condensate under control, which feeds straight into the HVAC calculation and the comfort of the cooking area. The swivel joint allows the lid to be moved without fighting its mass, and the drip strip keeps condensate from running onto adjacent surfaces when the lid is opened.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout gives a consistent surface for cleaning and maintenance, including the external cladding and structural parts. In a marine setting where salt contamination and aggressive cleaning regimes are common, staying within a single material grade simplifies both corrosion monitoring and replacement when panels or components are damaged.

This unit is a good fit where an Optima 850 line needs one general-purpose tilting bratt pan with 65 litres of capacity but does not justify the larger bodies in the same family. It is not the right choice where multiple temperature zones in a single pan are required, because the specification here is for a single work zone only. Ordered under MKN product number 10019140.
