MKN Tilting Multifunctional Bratt Pan 2121404C – Electric, Optima 700

Eighty-nine litres of working volume on a 1020 x 540 x 200 mm pan defines the MKN 2121404C in the Optima 700 series. With overall dimensions of 1100 x 700 x 700 mm, it delivers that capacity within a compact footprint that fits the 700 mm body depth line.

On a shipboard galley plan, a 1100 x 700 mm body is straightforward to place in a cooking block without encroaching on narrow walkways. The 700 mm height keeps the working edge consistent with other 700-line modules, which matters where pans and gastro containers are moved along the suite rather than worked in isolation. A net weight of 175 kg, rising to 208 kg gross for shipping, gives the yard enough information to confirm deck load, lifting plan and whether local stiffening is required under the foundation.

The working surface of 1020 x 540 mm at 200 mm depth is what produces the 89 litre capacity quoted, and that volume suits batch cooking on a medium-size vessel: large enough for sauces, braises and shallow frying runs, but not so large that part-load operation becomes the norm. One work zone simplifies control where the galley team prefers to dedicate the pan to a single process per service. Thermostatic temperature control reduces active adjustment during cooking, which helps when one person is responsible for several appliances in a compact galley layout.

Electrical data are clear for the switchboard calculation: the 2121404C is rated at 14.6 kW on a 400 V supply. That figure sets cable sizing, protective device selection and the share of the galley load this unit will take on a distribution board. Knowing the electrical power and the 89 litre capacity together lets the designer judge whether heat-up and recovery will align with the service pattern or whether a second pan is required in the line.

Construction is in stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout, which is standard for galley equipment cleaned frequently and exposed to moisture. The self-supporting closed construction helps the unit act as a structural element within the block rather than needing additional framing. The double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip limits steam release into the room and directs condensate back to the pan, reducing the burden on local extraction and cutting down on water on adjacent surfaces.

Ergonomic knob control suits crews working in gloves, and keeps operation intuitive for teams with mixed language skills or seasonal turnover. With the working dimensions fixed at 1100 x 700 x 700 mm, the unit will align visually and mechanically with other Optima 700 bodies, keeping the top line flush for safe pan movement.

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 appropriate where a single, general-purpose tilting multifunctional bratt pan at 89 litres is sufficient and the galley is built around the Optima 700 depth with a 400 V supply. It is the wrong choice where separate temperature zones in one body are required, or where the cooking line is specified on a different body depth and strict module alignment across the suite is a priority.
