MKN Solid Top Cooking Table 2123201 – Electric, Optima 700

Two work zones at 2.6 kW each on a 220 x 220 mm working surface set the MKN 2123201 apart as a compact solid top module for the Optima 700 line. With an overall footprint of 400 x 700 x 700 mm and a total connected load of 5.2 kW at 400 V, it delivers a defined cooking area without asking for much deck space or electrical reserve.

On board, that combination of modest width and standard Optima 700 depth is useful where a cooking line has to fit tight galley geometry or a short bulkhead. At 40 kg net weight (45 kg gross), this is a relatively light module for installation on a marine plinth or flanged feet, and its small plan area simplifies alignment with other 400 mm elements in the same series. Electrical supply at 400 V aligns with common three-phase shipboard distributions specified at the design stage instead of ad-hoc adaptation.

The 5.2 kW rating, split evenly as 2.6 kW per heating zone, gives a predictable load for the electrical engineer and enough surface energy for pans needing consistent contact heat rather than point heating. The two work zones allow one side to be held at a higher setting while the other carries a simmer or holding duty, which is often the practical pattern on a solid top during service. Because the working surface itself is 220 x 220 mm, the operator knows exactly where full contact heat is available, reducing guesswork when multiple pans are in play.

Physically, the 400 x 700 x 700 mm body means the unit drops cleanly into an Optima 700 run, maintaining the continuous work surface geometry that line is known for. Height at 700 mm allows it to be planned with base cabinets or support frames to reach the galley’s working level while still leaving room for services underneath. The published net and gross weights are also relevant when calculating deck loading and transport arrangements from the yard’s staging area into the galley.

Build and control

• Complies with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens
• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• Ergonomic knob control

This configuration suits galleys that need a small, clearly bounded solid top in a 400 mm module, for example as a finishing or sauce station at the edge of a larger cooking block. It is not the right choice where a single large continuous solid top is expected to carry many pans at once; in that case, larger-body modules in the same family will be a better fit.
