ABSTRACT:
An electrostatic oven or cooking apparatus having a heating structure defining a cavity and conventional thermostatically controlled heating element into which articles are placed is provided with an arrangement to generate an electrical field in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the cooking articles thereby improving the overall efficiency of the cooking process. The improved efficiency of the cooking process results in a reduction in the cooking time relative to conventional ovens. The electrical field generating apparatus in one arrangement includes an electrical field grid element maintained at a reference potential and apparatus for supporting the cooking articles upon being positioned within the heating structure cavity and maintaining the cooking articles at a DC potential with respect to the reference potential. The electrical field grid element and the cooking article support apparatus are spaced apart and adjustable relative to each other. A safety interlock device is provided to prevent energization of the electrical field generating arrangement whenever the door is not properly closed.
