MKN Induction Cooking Table 2023110 – 4 Zone, Optima 850

Twenty-eight kilowatts of induction power on a 700 x 690 mm working surface defines the Optima 850 cooking table 2023110. Within that footprint the unit delivers four 7 kW zones under a single 6 mm glass-ceramic top, flush with the surrounding worktop.

On board, that concentration of power in an 800 x 850 x 700 mm body gives a compact but heavy-duty hot line module. At 98 kg net weight the appliance is substantial enough to be integrated into an Optima 850 block without feeling light, yet the plan area is easy to accommodate in a galley where every millimetre of counter depth is already committed on drawings. The 400 V supply aligns with typical marine distribution boards where three-phase power is standard on cooking equipment, simplifying both specification and load balancing at the switchboard.

The working surface is a single 700 x 690 mm glass-ceramic field with graphically marked heating zones. Radiused plate corners reduce dirt traps and make day-to-day cleaning simpler, which matters in a galley that is washed down frequently. With 28 kW available, the induction generators are sized for fast response, but the fact that each of the four zones is limited to 7 kW brings a degree of predictability into the power budget: planners can treat it as four identical loads rather than a mix.

Construction is stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout, so the carcass sits comfortably alongside other Optima 850 modules built to the same material standard. Dimensions of 800 x 850 x 700 mm keep it inside the established corpus geometry of the series, which makes it straightforward to align, joint and seal with adjacent appliances in a continuous run of equipment. The gross weight of 111 kg is the figure to use for logistics and for any lifting or installation planning.

Control is by ergonomic knobs rather than a touch interface, which suits a galley where operators may be working with wet hands or in gloves. Electronic pan detection from a 12 cm base diameter ensures the induction generators only energise when suitable cookware is present, cutting idle consumption and reducing stray heat into the room. PT 1000-based overheating protection monitors the system and intervenes before the glass-ceramic or the internal components are driven beyond their intended temperature range.

This configuration fits a main galley or dedicated cooking station where four identical induction zones in a compact footprint are preferable to mixed functions. It is not the right choice for an area that needs integrated ovens or a larger shared induction surface; in those cases other bodies in the Optima line should be reviewed.
