MKN Induction Cooking Table 2023107 – 2 Zone, Optima 850

10 kW of installed electrical power split into two 5 kW induction zones defines the MKN 2023107 cooking table. Within its 500 x 850 x 700 mm Optima 850 body, the unit concentrates that output onto a 340 x 690 mm working surface, giving a compact high-capacity module for a line of induction tops.

On board, that geometry and power level matter as much as the technology. A 500 mm-wide body fits cleanly into an Optima 850 run without consuming more deck than necessary, which helps when a galley layout competes with refrigeration, ventilation trunks and passageways. A defined 10 kW load at 400 V gives the ship’s electrical engineer a clear figure for the cooking line’s busbar, rather than an open-ended gas or mixed installation. Weight is modest at 63 kg net, 70 kg gross, so moving and fixing the unit during a refit does not demand heavy lifting gear.

The working surface is a 6 mm glass-ceramic plate, set flush with the surrounding worktop. The 340 x 690 mm active area is marked graphically to show the heating zones, while the radiused plate corners simplify cleaning down in a regime where galley equipment is routinely washed with water and detergent. Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) is used throughout the construction, matching common marine galley fit-out materials and supporting a consistent corrosion profile across the block. Complying with DIN 18851 anchors the design in a recognised commercial-kitchen standard.

High-output induction generators sit beneath the glass-ceramic top, delivering heat only where a suitable pan is present. Each of the two zones is rated 5 kW, giving the full 10 kW total when both are in use. Electronic pan detection from a 12 cm base diameter ensures that power is applied only when cookware is correctly positioned, and the PT 1000 overheating protection monitors temperature to protect both the plate and the internal components. Supply is 400 V, so the unit can be integrated into a typical galley electrical distribution without step-up or step-down equipment when that voltage is available.

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

This module is well suited to an Optima 850 line where a defined 500 mm position is available and induction is preferred over radiant or gas for energy focus and surface cleanliness. It is not the right choice where the vessel’s main supply is not 400 V, or where a larger multi-zone body is required to serve a very high pan count on a single module.
