MKN Tilting Multifunctional Bratt Pan 2021408C – Electric, Optima 850

Eighty-nine litres of pan volume on a 1020 x 540 mm working surface defines the MKN 2021408C in the Optima 850 line. At 1100 x 850 x 700 mm overall, it occupies a single Optima module while offering a pan depth of 200 mm for braising, shallow frying or boiling.

On board, that footprint-to-capacity balance matters where every cooking position competes with passageways, refrigeration and warewashing for deck space. A single 89-litre tilting pan can take the load of several fixed kettles and fryers in a compact galley, which simplifies ventilation planning and service runs over an 850 mm deep block. The 400 V supply and 14.6 kW electrical load are typical of shipboard three-phase distribution, so this unit drops into existing marine electrical architecture without calling for a separate low-voltage feed.

The body measures 1100 x 850 x 700 mm, matching the Optima 850 corpus depth and allowing flush planning with adjacent modules from the same series. The 1020 x 540 x 200 mm pan gives a flat working surface for even heat distribution, while the 89-litre capacity supports batch production of sauces, stews or one-pot dishes. At 194 kg net weight (237 kg gross for shipping), the unit is substantial enough to bolt to a plinth or decking pads as part of a continuous cooking line.

Electrical power is rated at 14.6 kW on 400 V, which sets the cable sizing and breaker selection. For the galley designer this is one of the key coordination points with the shipyard, as the total cooking line load often runs close to the main galley sub-distribution limit. With one work zone specified, temperature is controlled over the entire pan surface as a single circuit, which suits large-volume preparation more than parallel small batches.

The working height at 700 mm body height is designed to pair with other Optima 850 appliances, keeping pan rims at a consistent level across the block. That helps with the safe movement of heavy pans and containers between units, especially when transferring liquid product from this 89-litre pan to holding equipment.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• Ergonomic knob control
• Double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip
• Thermostatic temperature control

This configuration is the right choice where a galley needs one large, general-purpose tilting pan feeding a central production flow, and where a single 400 V, 14.6 kW connection is available on the cooking line. It is less suitable where multiple smaller, independently controlled zones are required at the same time, because this model offers one work zone only.
