1. A toy comprising:
- a doll; and
an enclosed reservoir within the doll, the reservoir containing a microwave absorbing composition including at least one material selected from the group consisting of electrically conductive materials, magnetically permeable materials, materials having a Curie point, composites of electrically conductive materials with dielectric materials, and carbon, combined with at least one phase changing material selected from the group consisting of crystals and polymers whereby said composition heats to a predetermined temperature when the doll is placed in an operating microwave oven.

Abstract
Articles of apparel and a method of storing heat in same. The articles each consist of an object adapted to warm a carrier of the object, wherein the method comprises the steps of providing a reservoir within the object, the reservoir containing a supply consisting substantially of microwave absorbing compositions which repeatedly store heat, inserting the object with the reservoir in a field of microwave radiation, and activating the source for a predetermined period of time in order to heat the supply.
