The heat sinks have a heating elements extended along their sides and bottoms for elevating the temperature of the heat sinks and directing heat into the trays within the heat sinks. In addition, each heat sink also contains a cover which may close the top of the tray in the heat sink and thereby retard the escape of moisture from the tray or may vent the interior of the tray.delete-end id="DEL-S-00001" ?insert-start id="INS-S-00001" date="20080506" ?In other embodiments, the oven includes a cabinet having a plurality of compartments therein, and a plurality of trays in the compartments, each compartment being sized for receiving only one tray per compartment.
