MKN Induction Cooking Table 1223111 – CounterSL

10 kW on a single induction work zone in a 500 x 700 x 270 mm body sets the MKN 1223111 up as a compact but full-capacity cooker for front-of-house counters. Within that footprint the usable cooking surface is 400 x 400 mm, so the module is sized around one main pan or pot without wasting valuable counter length.

That 270 mm corpus height is what makes this unit interesting on a ship. It drops into a low CounterSL counter line rather than a full-height range, so designers can keep sightlines open in buffet or front-cooking areas while still working with commercial power levels. At the same time the 500 x 700 mm footprint is modest enough to fit into tight servery runs or kiosks where bulkhead and escape-route clearances are critical.

The working surface is a 6 mm glass-ceramic top, flush with the surrounding worktop, so pans slide on and off without lips to catch. With one defined work zone and 10 kW available, the table can carry out fast sauté or boiling work where the main production galley is too far from service. Net weight is 35 kg, gross 40 kg, light enough for installation on existing counter structures while still giving the mass needed to sit solidly once fixed.

Supply is 400 V with high-output induction generators providing the heat under the glass-ceramic. That combination delivers strong heating performance from a relatively small connected load in comparison to multiple-plate electric hobs occupying similar space. On a vessel where the electrical balance across phases and sections of the switchboard has to be planned, knowing this module draws 10 kW on a 400 V line gives the superintendent a concrete figure to work into the load schedule.

Radiused plate corners simplify wipe-down and remove dirt traps at the glass edges. Heating zones are graphically marked on the surface so crew can see at a glance where the pan base should sit, which matters when the single 400 x 400 mm area is shared between different pan diameters during a service.

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
• Radiused plate corners for easy cleaning; heating zones graphically marked
• 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

Electronic pan detection from 12 cm base diameter helps avoid empty heating and reduces wasted energy between orders, while PT 1000 overheating protection provides a defined safety backstop for the cooking surface. Those details count in an unmanned service area, where equipment may be left powered between peaks. This unit is well suited to a ship that needs focused front-cooking capacity at one position; it is not the right choice where multiple pans must be active at once over a longer line, where a multi-zone or larger-body module in the same family is the better fit.
