I'm thinking of buying one of these electric pots. I'm

I just fill mine with oil and use it as a deep fryer. It would be interesting to see some more ideas.

also can I use it as a stir fry maker?

does it get hot enough?

No you cannot stir fry in a pot, dumbass.

is it worth it to get one,

The only reason I could justify owning this is if you don't have a stove top. If you don't, go for it. Otherwise get a wok and some wooden spoons.

Nothing. Learn to cook with real cookware, not silly gimmicks.

Nope.

this. 100%. The idea of a nonstick wok is just as silly as a perforated condom.

Learn to cook with real equipment. Unless you live in a literal shithole apartment in some absurdly expensive city you probably have a kitchen. Use Google and learn how to use it.

I wanted to cook indian food in it

The problem is I want to cook a lot of food for a long time and I don't know if the range I have will be big enough for big pots.

Do you not have a normal stove?

Buy whatever you want, OP. Most people do for like 20 years, buying every cool kitchen gadget until they make choices based on their countertop space. This is why Goodwill is filled with cheap crock pots, popcorn contraptions, Fry Daddy's, George Foremans, Fondue Pots, sandwich makers, curlyque potato peelers, salad shooters, etc. t's a good way to learn new recipes and techniques that go with your device, and it doesn't actually cost much money. The good stuff? Ice cream maker? Quality espresso machine? Rarely at Goodwill.

I like to "stir fry" in my cast iron skillet. I get it screaming hot. I don't fry when I do asian, no deep frying oil to keep in the middle of the concave bottom, so this is good enough for me. Do you own a cast iron pan? I also have a flat bottom "wok" from Calphalon.

My mom just did an elaborate kitchen remodel and replaced a fantastic old 5 burner professional and pulled out a double oven (1970s stuff that was top of the line back then) on the suggestion of some third world dumbasses doing the design, and then she notices she doesn't have that high butane/amps burner on one of the burners she used to have, and now she can really control the heat, boil water fast, etc. Oh well. Since she has IBS and a recent gall bladder removal, and rotates through some pretty restrictive low fat dinner nights, she likes stir fry + brown rice for lack of symptoms, and she's pretty active on QVC, Overstock, Dealnews, Macys, you know, she got in her mind she wanted an electric wok and she found a deal! I was like, go for it Mom!

It's nice. It is nonstick. It is screamingly hot. Dinner is done in 45 seconds, beginning to end, like at the local takeout. No more Pei Wei runs. Also, she can plug it in where it faces the open kitchen to the family room, be social, watch TV, etc. It's a fun thing. She has 15 empty cabinets and miles of counterspace, who the heck cares about that. It fits her needs to own it. Enjoy yours!
