MKN Tilting Bratt Pan / Griddle 7EGPF080XF – Electric

Two independently controlled zones across the working area and a 37 litre capacity define the MKN 7EGPF080XF tilting bratt pan. That combination suits a galley that needs to run different production tasks on a single footprint without over-committing deck space.

On a shipboard line, a tilting bratt pan often has to cover shallow frying, braising and bulk finishing inside one appliance. The 2 zones on this model allow one side to run hotter while the other holds product, which helps when service patterns are staggered across crew and passengers. The 37 litre capacity is sized for medium production runs where batches are frequent but the galley does not justify one of the larger kettle bodies. With electric heating, the unit ties directly into a standard marine electrical distribution scheme without the routing and ventilation issues of gas.

The functional core of the 7EGPF080XF is the split working area. Each of the 2 zones can be handled to suit its task, so searing and simmering can happen side by side instead of in sequence. For a vessel with limited hot line length, this delivers flexibility without adding another dedicated appliance. The 37 litre capacity gives enough volume for sauces, stews or pre-cooked components, while still keeping heat-up times and energy use in check compared with substantially larger pans.

Thermostatic temperature control is central to repeatable results and to load planning in a marine galley, where power budgets and extraction are planned around known duty cycles. With thermostatic control, the chef sets the target and the appliance manages the on/off cycling of the elements inside each zone to hold that value, reducing manual intervention and lowering the risk of overcooking when service is under way.

IP-rated water protection is significant in a ship environment, because galleys are washed down frequently and equipment is exposed to splashing and spray rather than just occasional wiping. An IP-rated construction allows the 7EGPF080XF to be cleaned in line with the vessel’s regime without exposing internal components unnecessarily to moisture, helpful both for hygiene and for long-term reliability under vibration and movement.

Build and control

• IP-rated water protection
• Thermostatic temperature control
• 2 working zones across the pan surface
• 37 litre pan capacity

This configuration is the right choice where a single electric tilting pan is expected to handle a mix of frying and wet-cooking tasks for a medium complement, and where two-zone operation will genuinely be used. It is not the best fit for very high-volume boiling or where the primary requirement is large-capacity stock or soup production; in those cases a dedicated kettle line in higher capacities should be considered.
