MKN Tilting Multifunctional Bratt Pan 2121402C – Electric, Optima 700

Sixty‑two litres of pan capacity in a 700 x 540 mm working surface gives the 2121402C a compact but productive footprint for an Optima 700 line. With an overall body size of 800 x 700 x 700 mm, it occupies a single 800 mm module while still offering a 200 mm deep pan for volume cooking and frying.

On board, that footprint-to-capacity balance matters where every millimetre of galley run has to earn its keep. An 800 x 700 mm module is easy to integrate into a standard Optima 700 cooking block, and a 62-litre multifunctional pan can take over duties that would otherwise be split between a separate fryer, griddle and boiling pot. At 144 kg net weight (153 kg gross), the unit is substantial enough to be bolted or welded to a marine plinth without overloading a lightweight deck. Electrical power at 11 kW on a 400 V supply slots into a typical galley distribution panel without the step up associated with larger kettles.

The working surface of 700 x 540 mm gives a broad, uninterrupted area for shallow frying, braising or boiling. The 200 mm pan depth supports stews and sauces as well as pan work, and the 62-litre stated capacity allows a superintendent to plan portions and batch sizes with a firm number rather than an estimate. One work zone simplifies operation: the pan runs as a single controlled area, which suits galleys using it for one production stream at a time rather than splitting it into several temperatures. Thermostatic temperature control stabilises pan performance around the set point once loaded.

A double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip is part of the daily work pattern as much as a construction detail. The double wall reduces heat loss, the swivel joint keeps the lid movement controlled, and the drip strip manages condensate when the lid is opened, helping to keep surrounding surfaces drier. With a body height of 700 mm, the pan edge height and tilting motion sit in a comfortable working range for an average operator when the unit is mounted on a marine plinth or legs specified to the yard’s standard.

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 single 62-litre pan can cover the bulk of one main production stream in a constrained galley, and where a 400 V, 11 kW electrical allocation is available. It is less suitable for a vessel needing multiple independent temperature zones in one body, or significantly higher volumes per batch; in those cases the designer should look at larger or multi-zone pans in the same family.
