MKN Magnum Multifunctional Bratt Pan 10019177 – Optima 700

143 litres in a single pan on a 1020 x 540 x 300 mm working surface sets the scale of the MKN Magnum 10019177. Built into a 1300 x 700 x 700 mm Optima 700 body, it delivers that volume within the standard 700 mm-deep cooking line.

On a ship this footprint-to-capacity ratio is the core argument. The unit occupies 1300 x 700 mm of deck while carrying a 143-litre pan, so it can sit in a continuous Optima 700 run instead of being pushed to a separate island. Electrical load is 19.2 kW at 400 V, which is a known figure for the electrical designer to place on the galley distribution and any energy optimisation scheme.

The 1020 x 540 mm working surface gives broad access along the pan length, while the 300 mm depth provides headroom for liquid cooking, braising or shallow frying without working close to the brim. With one work zone, the entire 143-litre capacity is controlled as a single surface, which suits batch production of a few core menu items rather than many small independently controlled zones. Net weight is 195 kg, gross weight 235 kg, so the naval architect can size foundations, coamings and handling equipment around those values instead of assuming a generic bratt pan mass.

Material construction is split by duty. Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) is used throughout the structure, with stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) on the wetted parts. That combination concentrates the higher-alloy material where hot food and liquids are in contact, while the self-supporting closed construction and fully welded seams limit open joints around the body. For marine installation this reduces the number of exposed interfaces where soil and moisture can sit and simplifies cleaning around and under the appliance.

The double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip helps control vapour release into the galley and directs condensate back into the pan. A drain valve is fitted so the 143-litre volume can be emptied without manual lifting, and the R3/4" tap with 250 mm reach allows direct filling and top-up from the unit itself. Being prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system means the 19.2 kW load can be integrated into a managed galley power scheme where peak demand has to be levelled.

This Magnum pan is the right choice where a galley needs one large 143-litre cooking surface in the 1300 x 700 mm Optima 700 footprint and can allocate a 19.2 kW, 400 V supply to a single appliance. It is the wrong choice where the menu or service pattern requires several independently controlled zones or multiple smaller pans to run many parallel small batches; in that case separate, smaller bodies in the same line would give more flexibility than a single 143-litre zone.
