convection ovens have a fan that blows the heat around. You can cook the liners in a regular oven. If you heat the oven up, you should be able to turn off the oven and still cook them with the residual heat. The rice bag method is a waste of rice.

I like the Intuition Pro tours more than any other fully thermomoldable liners I've had; I used the rice method and used the same rice on 4 pairs of liners and still have it--not much of a waste compared to going to a shop and them charging you $20-40 for a crappy job. Now, if you have the bucks, it pays to go to a good boot fitter and have a pair of custom footbeds made and the liners properly fit to your feet, your footbeds, and your boots. I had that done once, now I can do it myself 
Intuition liners come with the rice bag and the instructions for fitting.

Just a note on the warp...
While the ski great on the down, I found that they reduced (and added resistance) the ROM on the up...

I have both Power Wrap and ProTour liners both which I molded at home. Having both give you flexibility. I tend to choose the liner based on the day. If it is easy pow turns with lots of up then Protour. Power wraps are for resort or on missions where I need a little more stiffness and don't care about the tour as much.
Here is a guide if you want to cook your own liners fanatykco.com/winter/boot-fitting/how-to-mold-intuition-liners/
These guys are the best in the business. If you are having boot problems and are near Whistler stop in you will get fixed up.
Really when it comes down to it you can't go wrong with Inutitions liners your feet will be warmer at a minimum.
I have some more great home molding tips message me if you need some help.

The reason I say "it's a waste of rice," is because I prefer the more thorough method of cooking the liners in the oven. I have never seen a ski shop use the rice method. The rice method is a much more mild form of thermofitting. I prefer to heat them in the oven and get the full benefit. It's pretty easy. Obviously, since intuition provides instruction on the rice method it must work fine for many consumers. I tried it. Then I redid them in the oven.
I do think that having them done professionally, say at Feathered Friends or Marmot is worth the money. I think paying for fitting the first time is a good learning experience.

I just cooked a pair of tongue-style liners for my Scarpa t2 ecos using the rice method. I much preferred it over the oven method, which I have done several times.
The main advantage is that you don't have to shove a hot, amorphous liner into the boot before stepping in.
