What is claimed is:1. A divider assembly for dividing a cooking cavity of a microwave oven into two cooking subcavities, the divider assembly comprising:a first tempered glass panel; a metal frame extending around the periphery of the first tempered glass panel to support the first tempered glass panel; a honeycomb core positioned above the first tempered glass panel; a second tempered glass panel positioned above the honeycomb core; and a gasket extending around the periphery of the metal frame for engaging metal walls of the microwave oven, wherein the gasket comprises small-diameter, long-length carbon nano-tubes. 2. The divider assembly of claim 1 , wherein the gasket is electrically conductive so as to electrically couple the metal frame to the metal walls of the microwave oven. 3. The divider assembly of claim 1 , wherein the gasket comprises a high temperature silicon tube around which the small-diameter, long-length carbon nano-tubes are formed. 4. The divider assembly of claim 1 , wherein the small-diameter, long-length carbon nano-tubes are single-walled carbon nano-tubes. 5. The divider assembly of claim 1 , wherein the small-diameter, long-length carbon nano-tubes are multi-walled carbon nano-tubes. 6. The divider assembly of claim 1 , wherein the small-diameter, long-length carbon nano-tubes are formed from a hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms. 7. The divider assembly of claim 6 , wherein the hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms is capped by fullerene-like structures. 8. The divider assembly of claim 1 , and further comprising at least one foot extending downward from a surface of the metal frame for engaging at least one shelf ledge that extends from the inner walls of the microwave oven. 9. The divider assembly of claim 1 , and further comprising a tin-oxide coating on a surface of one of the first and second tempered glass panels. 10. The divider assembly of claim 9 , wherein the tin-oxide coating is disposed on a surface of the second tempered glass panel. 11. An electromagnetic cooking device comprising:an enclosed cavity; the divider assembly of claim 1 disposed within the enclosed cavity so as to divide the enclosed cavity into a first subcavity and a second subcavity; at least one first microwave source for generating microwave energy within the first subcavity to cook food disposed therein; and at least one second microwave source for generating microwave energy within the second subcavity to cook food disposed therein. 12. A microwave oven comprising:an enclosed cavity; a divider assembly disposed within the enclosed cavity so as to divide the enclosed cavity into a first subcavity and a second subcavity; at least one first microwave source for generating microwave energy within the first subcavity to cook food disposed therein; and at least one second microwave source for generating microwave energy within the second subcavity to cook food disposed therein, wherein the divider assembly comprises:a first tempered glass panel; a metal frame extending around the periphery of the first tempered glass panel to support the first tempered glass panel; a honeycomb core positioned above the first tempered glass panel; a second tempered glass panel positioned above the honeycomb core; and a gasket extending around the periphery of the metal frame for engaging metal walls of the microwave oven, wherein the gasket comprises small-diameter, long-length carbon nano-tubes. 13. The microwave oven of claim 12 , wherein the gasket is electrically conductive so as to electrically couple the metal frame to the metal walls of the microwave oven. 14. The microwave oven of claim 12 , wherein the gasket comprises a high temperature silicon tube around which the small-diameter, long-length carbon nano-tubes are formed. 15. The microwave oven of claim 12 , wherein the small-diameter, long-length carbon nano-tubes are single-walled carbon nano-tubes. 16. The microwave oven of claim 12 , wherein the small-diameter, long-length carbon nano-tubes are multi-walled carbon nano-tubes. 17. The microwave oven of claim 12 , and further comprising at least one foot extending downward from a surface of the metal frame for engaging at least one shelf ledge that extends from the inner walls of the microwave oven. 18. The microwave oven of claim 12 , and further comprising a tin-oxide coating on a surface of one of the first and second tempered glass panels. 19. The microwave oven of any one of claim 18 , wherein the tin-oxide coating is disposed on a surface of the second tempered glass panel. 20. The microwave oven of claim 12 , wherein the at least one first microwave source includes two solid-state microwave sources and the at least one second microwave source includes two solid-state microwave sources.
