Self-Stirring Frying Pan / Cook Pot

 Frying Pan / Cook Pot Which Stirs Itself

This would be a frying pan or cook pot which stirs its contents, using a strong paddle (not the weak wimpy ones on existing similar products) rotating at the bottom. The pan / pot would use both conductive heating from below, as well as radiative and convective heating by way of a quartz grill with a strong fan built into the top lid. The lid should be able to clamp on, to allow for a pressure cooker mode.

       Not unless it has a computer to keep stuff from sticking to the bottom, a device to control the stove's heat setting (or at least a variable-efficiency heat sink to partially mitigate overheating) and at least ten other add-ons that I haven't thought of yet.

       When I was in high school, the chemistry department had something that is relevant to this Idea. It was a "hot plate" that also had a motor built into it, under the plate. You set a beaker of liquid on the hot plate, and you put a little magnet, coated with protective plastic, into the beaker-full of liquid. The motor under the hot plate spun a magnet, which caused the other magnet, in the beaker, to spin along with it, and that kept the liquid nicely stirred.

       Shades of a stir plate for making yeast cultures for brewing.

       I'd always assumed it was an array of coils under there, similar to a stepper motor stator.

       No, they're much cruder than that; just a permanent magnet and a small synchronous motor.

       Won't the bit in the middle burn when doing anything remotely sticky? How does it turn things over to evenly cook stuff(e.g. onions)?
