MKN Tilting Bratt Pan / Griddle 7EGPF060XM – Electric

Two working zones on the cooking surface and a 26 litre pan volume define the MKN 7EGPF060XM as a compact, controllable tilting bratt pan / griddle for focused production. That combination suits a galley that needs to handle several preparations in parallel without dedicating a larger section of the cook line.

On board, the 26 litre capacity is the number to plan service around. It sets the upper limit for a single batch of sauce, braise or shallow-fried product that can be held in the pan without overfilling. In a ship’s galley where extraction, electrical load and deck area are all allocated tightly, having a known working volume helps the designer match the pan to the meal count and avoid overspecifying heavier kettles or additional pans that will never be used to their capacity.

The 2 zone working area is equally important for the layout. With the surface divided, one part of the pan can be used for higher-temperature griddling or sautéing while the other is held at a lower temperature for holding or gentle finishing. This reduces the need to move pans across the line and lets a single operator keep different products under control within arm’s reach, which is valuable when the cook line runs close to bulkheads and traffic routes.

Electric heating regulated by thermostatic temperature control gives the 7EGPF060XM predictable behaviour under varying load. Once a setpoint is established for a given product, the thermostat holds that value rather than leaving the operator to chase a drifting temperature. That stability matters on a vessel where several appliances may be drawing from the same distribution board and where unplanned load changes can otherwise show up as inconsistent surface heat.

The IP-rated water protection called out for this model is a response to marine cleaning practice. Galleys are routinely washed down, so exposed electrical components are at risk if the appliance is built only to a dry-kitchen standard. An IP-rated construction indicates that the housing and control components are protected against water ingress to the level stated on the unit’s rating plate, so routine cleaning and occasional splashing do not turn into unplanned maintenance events for this bratt pan.

Build and control

• IP-rated water protection
• Thermostatic temperature control
• Working area with 2 zones
• 26 litre capacity pan

This configuration is the right choice where the galley needs one tilting pan to cover sautéing, shallow frying and smaller-volume wet cooking, and where the flexibility of a 2 zone surface in a single body is more valuable than sheer volume. It is the wrong choice for a main production galley that routinely cooks much larger liquid batches in one go, or where a single product is to be prepared in quantities well beyond a 26 litre pan; in that case the larger bodies in the same line, or dedicated boiling kettles, should be specified instead.
