MKN Induction Cooking Table 10010353 – Wok, Optima 700

5 kW of electrical power on a single work zone gives the MKN 10010353 induction table its character. Within the Optima 700 family, the 500 x 700 x 700 mm body makes it a compact module that still follows the system depth and working height of the line.

In a marine galley, that 500 mm width is useful where a single wok position has to be inserted into an already planned cooking block. The 700 mm depth and 700 mm height keep the front edge and worktop level in line with the surrounding Optima 700 equipment, so pan movement and staff routes are not broken by steps or overhangs. Net weight is 42 kg with a gross weight of 47 kg, so handling onto the vessel and positioning on the deck are straightforward compared with heavier boiling or frying modules.

The working surface is defined as 350 x 350 mm, covered by a 6 mm glass-ceramic top that is flush with the worktop. This field size suits a single wok or pan, concentrating the induction field where it is needed instead of spreading it across unused surface. For a closed galley with limited HVAC capacity, that concentration of the 5 kW load into the pan area rather than the room helps keep the thermal load on the ventilation plant lower than with radiant hob surfaces.

Electrical supply is specified at 400 V, with the full table rated at 5 kW. On most ships that leaves the unit as a medium-load consumer that can be tied into the galley distribution without needing a dedicated high-power feeder or special switchgear. The single work zone simplifies planning: one circuit, one load, and no need to balance multiple zones on the same frame.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) is used throughout, so the external housing and visible surfaces match standard galley expectations for cleanability and corrosion resistance. The self-supporting closed construction means the appliance forms its own stable body; it does not rely on adjacent modules for structural support, which is relevant where the wok station sits at the end of a run or in a freestanding block.

Build and control

• Complies with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens
• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• 6 mm glass-ceramic top, flush with the worktop
• Ergonomic knob control
• Heated by high-output induction generators
• High efficiency, low energy consumption
• Electronic pan detection from 12 cm base diameter
• PT 1000 overheating protection
• Progressive power characteristic

Control is via an ergonomic knob, which gives direct access to the progressive power characteristic without navigating menus. Electronic pan detection from 12 cm base diameter ensures the generators only energise with a suitable pan present, reducing unintended heating of the glass-ceramic surface. PT 1000-based overheating protection monitors the temperature and intervenes before the zone can run beyond its limits.

This unit is the right choice where a galley needs one defined wok or sauté position integrated into a 700 mm-deep cooking line and where a 400 V, 5 kW supply is available. It is the wrong choice for a main production station that needs several wok positions on one frame, or for a pantry where only low-voltage snack equipment is foreseen and a 400 V connection cannot be provided.
