MKN Tilting Multifunctional Bratt Pan 2121403C – Electric, Optima 700

Eighty‑nine litres of pan volume on a 1020 x 540 mm working surface sets the 2121403C up for batch cooking in a compact footprint. At 1100 x 700 x 700 mm overall, it fits the Optima 700 line while still carrying a single large work zone for multifunctional use.

On a ship this scale-to-footprint ratio matters. Deck space for cooking lines is tight and any module that brings 89 litres of capacity into a 700 mm deep body helps keep the suite within the planned galley envelope. The tilting pan format also reduces the number of separate appliances needed for searing, shallow frying and general-purpose cooking, which simplifies both service routing and cleaning around the unit.

The pan is built entirely in stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304), with a working surface measuring 1020 x 540 x 200 mm. That depth allows meaningful fill while still leaving room for agitation and turning product without spillage. Net weight is 175 kg, rising to 208 kg gross for transport, so the foundation or plinth design has to be matched to that load when the unit is fixed to the deck. With one work zone, control and monitoring are straightforward for the galley team, and the single zone suits production where one batch is run through at a time rather than several different products held at different temperatures.

Electrical connection is 400 V with an installed electrical power of 14.4 kW. That figure needs to be included in the galley load calculation and matched against the distribution board capacity; the bratt pan will be one of the larger single appliances on a smaller vessel’s galley circuit. The thermostatic temperature control gives repeatable settings once the required pan temperature for a given product has been established, reducing the dependency on operator judgement alone. Dimensions of 1100 x 700 x 700 mm also make it easier to integrate the unit into an Optima 700 cooking block without breaking the line or creating cleaning traps at the joints.

The double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip keeps condensate directed back into the pan instead of onto the surround, which is relevant for both hygiene and for keeping the deck surface drier around the unit. A self-supporting closed construction simplifies installation because the body does not rely on adjacent cabinets for stiffness, so it can stand as a single module within a mixed manufacturer line if needed.

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 model is a good fit where an 89 litre, single-zone tilting pan covers the main batch work without needing separately controlled sections. It is not the right choice where multiple temperature zones in one body are required, or where the electrical reserve cannot comfortably support a 14.4 kW appliance on a 400 V supply.
