Trying to operate an electric range from a battery and inverter would be a losing proposition. You would need an industrial sized inverter and enough batteries to where weight is a consideration. And you would have to run the boat for days to recharge the batteries.
I cook with a propane stove and it's as good or better than my natural gas stove at home. An ABYC compliant stove and propane system is not inexpensive, but it's a great solution for cooking away from shore power.
Someone else will have to tell you about diesel stoves, I am not familiar with them.
