A thermodynamic element for reducing the cooling rate of an object comprising:
- a microwavable ceramic having a shape and a mixture with material composition of a common dry, powdered potter's clay and a powdered silicon carbide at between about 5% and about 40% percentage of composition and water as needed to achieve general consistency of a workable clay, wherein the microwavable ceramic is allowed to dry until the mixture achieves a surface consistency similar to a leather feel, and wherein the microwavable ceramic is fired in a pottery oven until the microwavable ceramic reaches a temperature of about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

- wherein the shape is a sphere having a diameter of between about 38 mm and about 40 mm;
A process of making a thermodynamic element for reducing the cooling rate of a substance comprising the steps of:
- preparing a mixture by combining a common dry, powdered potter's clay with powdered silicon carbide until the content of the mixture has between about 5% and about 40% percentage of composition;
- adding water to the mixture until the mixture achieves the general consistency of a workable clay;
- shaping the mixture into a shape;
- drying the mixture until the mixture achieves a surface consistency similar to a leather;
- and
- firing the mixture in a pottery oven to a temperature of about 2,000 degrees F.
