cooking with a round based clay pot on an electric stove

I have a clay cooking pot,

similar to this one here

and was wondering does anybody know of a heat diffuser I could use to cook with it over an electric Stove,

Its meant for a naked flame such as gas

but you know, Russia decide to invade Ukraine, so gas is becoming quite expensive.

Best Answer

I wouldn't recommend it.

You're going to be generating a large heat differential between top & bottom, even if you manage to find a heat 'spreader' capable of properly heating the entire lower half.
Heat differential & ceramics = cracking/or explosive shattering.
