MKN Electric Tilting Bratt Pan 10019144 – Optima 850

Ninety-four litres of working volume on a 1020 x 540 mm surface defines this Optima 850 bratt pan. The 1600 x 850 x 700 mm body gives a wide cooking area within a standard-depth Optima 850 line, so it drops into a cooking suite without special fabrication.

On a shipboard galley plan, that footprint and capacity sit in the middle range: large enough to handle main-dish production for a crew galley, but still compact enough to fit a dense Optima 850 block. The 245 kg net weight and 285 kg gross weight are relevant for the structural calculation around deck loading, especially where several modules sit on the same section of deck. With a 400 V supply and 14.6 kW connected load, this unit belongs on the main galley distribution rather than a light catering sub-panel.

The working surface of 1020 x 540 x 210 mm is where most of the day-to-day value sits. That area takes full advantage of the 850 mm depth of the Optima 850 series, giving good access across the pan while still leaving room at the rear for splash protection in the counter design. A single work zone simplifies operation for one cook working the pan, with the 94 litre capacity suited to braising, shallow frying or roasting in batch sizes that turn over during a single service. The 210 mm depth allows for higher-volume wet cooking when required without pushing close to the rim.

Electrically, the bratt pan is specified at 400 V with an electrical power of 14.6 kW. That figure goes straight into the load schedule and is the decisive number for the switchboard and cable sizing. In an all-electric galley, stacking several 14.6 kW modules quickly defines the section of the main switchboard they sit on; in a mixed-fuel layout, this pan can carry the searing, shallow frying and braising tasks that might otherwise fall on gas equipment, bringing them onto a controlled electric circuit.

The double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip closes the pan volume when needed and manages condensate away from the front edge. On board, that reduces free steam into the galley and keeps the front edge drier, which matters when the deck is already carrying water from cleaning. Tilting operation simplifies emptying of 94 litres of product without manual lifting, and the single work zone keeps the control logic straightforward for repeatable processes.

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
• Double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip
• Thermostatic temperature control

This configuration suits a vessel that needs a single, general-purpose tilting bratt pan integrated into an Optima 850 line, with 94 litres covering most core production tasks. It is the wrong choice where very small batches dominate, because the 1600 mm length and 94 litre capacity then occupy more line space than they return in utilisation; in that case, a smaller body from the same family should be considered.
