MKN Pasta Cooker 8EMKO111D – Electric

7.2 kW at 380–415 V defines the MKN 8EMKO111D as a compact electric pasta cooker that still offers full GN 1/1 flexibility. The unit is built to accept GN 1/1 containers and is specified with fully welded seams, so it drops cleanly into a professional galley line without leaving open joints around the well.

On board, the declared 380–415 V electrical supply positions this cooker for integration on a standard three-phase galley distribution rather than on a light-duty single-phase spur. Electrical loading has to be scheduled against the rest of the cooking battery, and a 7.2 kW appliance is a known quantity for the switchboard and for any load-shedding logic. Water services matter as much as power: the unit is designed for an inlet water pressure between 2 and 6 bar, so both the ship’s hydrophore settings and any pressure-reduction valves can be checked against that window before installation.

Latent heat emission is quoted at 1440 W. That figure belongs in the HVAC calculation, because it is the moisture the cooker will drive into a confined galley when boiling is underway. In a closed cooking area that already carries combi ovens and open boiling pans, knowing that this unit contributes 1440 W of latent load helps the designer size extraction and air conditioning accurately, rather than discovering during commissioning that the room runs hotter and more humid than expected.

Functionally, the ability to accept GN 1/1 containers gives the 8EMKO111D a clear planning advantage. Basket systems, inserts or perforated containers can be standardised across the galley, simplifying spares and handling. With 7.2 kW available, the pasta cooker can be specified as a focused production station rather than a general boiling pan, keeping volume tasks like pasta, noodles or blanching off the main ranges while still using the same GN 1/1 footprint that other equipment in the line is built around.

Build and control

• Accepts GN 1/1 containers
• Fully welded seams
• Electrical supply 380–415 V
• Electrical power 7.2 kW
• Latent heat emission 1440 W
• Water pressure 2–6 bar

This model is appropriate where a vessel needs a dedicated pasta or blanching appliance with a defined 7.2 kW load and a clear 2–6 bar water-pressure requirement, typically in a main galley or a busy crew galley. It is less suitable as the only boiling appliance in a very small pantry that might benefit more from a multifunctional unit capable of other cooking methods within the same footprint.
