MKN Solid Top Cooking Table 2023201 – Electric, Optima 850

Two work zones on a 400 x 850 x 700 mm body define the MKN 2023201 solid top as a compact module within the Optima 850 line. With a total connected load of 6.5 kW and a 300 x 300 mm working surface, it is specified for targeted pot work rather than broad griddle-style coverage.

On a ship, a 400 mm-wide solid top is often dropped in where there is a need for concentrated boiling and simmering without opening up more deck or electrical load than necessary. The 6.5 kW rating at 400 V ties neatly into a typical galley circuit while still giving the headroom to run two active zones. Net weight at 58 kg — 65 kg gross for transport — also makes handling and installation straightforward when modules have to be brought through narrow passages or lifted into a pre-built counter run.

Within the Optima 850 geometry, the 400 x 850 mm footprint lets this unit connect flush to adjacent appliances on the same depth, so pots move from open burners or induction to the solid top without steps or gaps. The working surface of 300 x 300 mm concentrates heating where pans actually sit, which is reflected in the power allocation: each heating zone is rated 2.5 / 4.0, so the cook can either hold a gentle simmer or drive harder heat on demand. Across both zones, that flexibility sits under the 6.5 kW ceiling, which matters when several heavy consumers run on the same branch.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout provides a known material grade for naval architects and specifiers checking corrosion resistance and hygiene requirements. The 700 mm height integrates into an Optima 850 line-up without spacer frames or transitions, simplifying both design and cleaning. Compliance with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens anchors the construction to a recognised standard rather than a purely proprietary build description.

This solid top module suits galleys that need two defined heating zones in a narrow bay, for example between a fryer and an oven base, where a wider plate would block access or overrun the available electrical allowance. It is the wrong choice where large, single-surface cooking or extensive holding capacity is needed; in those cases the broader bodies in the Optima 850 family should be on the table instead.
