MKN Pasta Cooker 1320402 – Electric, HotLine

Seven point two kilowatts on a 400 x 700 x 700 mm body gives the MKN 1320402 a defined role as a compact, single-well pasta cooker in the HotLine series. With 1 work zone and a 305 x 510 x 210 mm working surface, it occupies a narrow slot in a cooking line while still providing a dedicated boiling position.

On board, that 400 mm width and 700 mm depth simplify integration into a line where deck area is already allocated to core appliances. The 700 mm height keeps the working edge at a standard level relative to adjacent HotLine or comparable equipment, which matters for operator ergonomics in a confined galley. Net weight is 45 kg, with 52 kg gross for transport and handling; light enough for straightforward installation, but with sufficient mass for a rigid mounting on the ship’s plinth or support structure.

Electrically, the pasta cooker is specified for 400 V with an electrical power draw of 7.2 kW. That is a clear, single-circuit load figure for the electrical designer assigning ways on a distribution board. Being prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system allows the 7.2 kW demand to be managed in line with other galley loads instead of running as an unmanaged peak.

The 305 x 510 x 210 mm working surface defines the usable well geometry and batch size. At 210 mm deep, there is a practical water column height for full immersion of standard pasta baskets or inserts, while the 305 mm length and 510 mm width keep the well comfortably within reach across the 400 mm module. In day-to-day use, that means crews can work at speed without stretching across a wide top or managing multiple wells on one frame.

The self-supporting closed construction and fully welded seams give the 1320402 a rigid carcass that does not rely on adjacent equipment for stiffness. Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout provides a homogeneous finish across body and top, which simplifies cleaning routines aboard and pairs cleanly with other stainless equipment in the same run.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• Fully welded seams
• Ergonomic knob control
• Prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system
• Thermostatic temperature control
• Drain valve

Ergonomic knob control and thermostatic temperature regulation keep operation straightforward for rotating crews: set a temperature, monitor visually and by feel, and adjust as required without paging through menus. The built-in drain valve is a practical installation point, enabling a fixed connection into the galley’s drain layout rather than relying on manual lifting or temporary hoses when emptying the 305 x 510 x 210 mm well.

This unit is the right choice where a single, compact pasta or noodle position is needed in a 400 mm module and where 7.2 kW is an acceptable allocation for that task on the panel schedule. It is the wrong choice where multiple independent wells, larger working surfaces or higher total capacity are required; in those cases a larger body or multi-well unit from the same line should be considered.
