An oven of modular construction to enhance cleaning and an improved energy transfer apparatus, wherein the oven includes a frame having a base on which is removably mounted a conveyor and a heating unit and a hood movably mounted relative to the base to coact with the conveyor by having an inlet and an outlet end, and a removable energy transfer apparatus mountable in the hood together with a heater. The improved energy transfer apparatus has stronger electrode or probe construction to avoid distortions and warping and better maintain the spacing relation with grid bars or wires together with being arranged and configured to minimize the height of the apparatus and to increase the effective energy transfer over the surface of the target to eliminate striping of a food product, thereby providing a more uniform application of the energy to the target. The probe construction also increases the width of energy transfer coverage not only to decrease the cost of the apparatus but also to minimize the operating costs.
