MKN Tilting Multifunctional Bratt Pan 10019138 – Electric, Optima 850

65 litres of pan volume on a 700 x 540 mm working surface defines this Optima 850 tilting multifunctional bratt pan. At 1300 x 850 x 700 mm it fits as a full-depth module in an Optima 850 line while still providing a single uninterrupted work zone.

For a shipboard galley, those dimensions matter as much as the function. The 850 mm depth is the Optima 850 body standard, so this unit can sit flush with adjacent modules and allow pans to slide across without steps. At 222 kg net weight and 262 kg gross, the bratt pan is substantial enough to be treated as part of the fixed galley block, which suits welded or flanged mounting to meet marine stability and hygiene requirements. A dedicated 400 V supply at 10.8 kW has to be planned back to the distribution board; on a vessel with many electric cooking appliances on one switchboard section, that load needs to be visible in the power balance from the outset.

The 65 litre capacity and 210 mm pan depth give this unit a clear role where braising, shallow frying and bulk cooking share the same footprint. The single work zone simplifies operation: one pan, one temperature profile, no need to manage multiple smaller appliances for the same batch. The double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint helps retain heat and condensate over the full 700 x 540 mm surface, and the condensate drip strip keeps moisture where it belongs, inside the pan rather than on the front frame. When the service pattern demands fast changeovers between cooking modes, the electric 10.8 kW heating gives predictable warm-up and recovery, anchored to the 400 V connection the ship’s electricians can standardise across the galley.

At 1300 mm length this unit occupies a noticeable section of the cooking line, so it should be specified where that length will be used frequently. On smaller vessels or galleys with intermittent production, a shorter body or smaller pan might free up valuable linear space for other modules. Conversely, in a production galley that routinely runs large batches, the 65 litre capacity and full Optima 850 depth match well with other heavy-duty equipment in the same series.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• Ergonomic knob control
• Prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system
• Double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip
• Thermostatic temperature control

This bratt pan is the right choice where an Optima 850 line is already planned and there is a clear requirement for a 65 litre tilting pan running on a 400 V, 10.8 kW electric supply. It is less suitable where the galley has very limited linear space or where smaller, multi-appliance flexibility is more important than a single large cooking surface.
