Oven liner for dielectric oven

A dielectric oven for heating a product within a tray, said oven comprising:

• a housing which has a top wall, a bottom wall, and at least one side wall and includes a housing access and a housing access cover, defining a heating cavity;
• a oven liner made from a non-electrically conductive material and having a liner top wall, a liner bottom wall, and at least one liner side wall, which substantially conform to and are substantially in contact with said housing walls, including a liner access and a liner access cover, which substantially conform to said housing access and said housing access cover, respectively said liner defining a liner cavity within said heating cavity and forming a vaportight boundary between said liner cavity and said heating cavity;
• at least a pair of contacts through said housing and said liner and into said cavity, such that said liner forms said vaportight boundary around said contacts;
• an electromagnetic energy source located outside of said housing and said liner coupled to and supplying current to each of said contacts and capacitor plates located between said housing and said liner;
• and
• at least first and second electrodes located within said cavity, each of which is coupled to one of said contacts, bracketing said product.
