For example, can I run a two burner electric stove? Can I run a small dvd player?
Can I run lights?

You’ll need to know the amp/hour rating of the battery and factor in the current (amp) load demand of the devices being used. I don’t think you’ll be able to operate a stove for long (if at all) though a DVD player and low wattage light shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
If the electricity where you live is sporadic then you might think about a camp stove that runs on gas or kerosene. My buddy is trying to live off the grid and has a ton of 12 volt marine batteries and it seems to work OK.
You need the ‘spec.s’ on the battery.
If a two burner stove is in the picture, it’s not just
the amp./hr.s, but the high discharge rate that will
be a concern. (There’s a lot less capapcity available
at high rates.)
That ‘stove` is probably about 2400W. total.
How big is your inverter????
