It will work. We have a flat-top in our current apartment, and although it does work with all our existing cookware, we hate it. Hate it.
Like, if we owned the place, it would be sitting on the curb so fast it would break the sound barrier getting there. At least the one we have is harder to clean than a regular electric range. You'd think it's easier because it's got that flat top, and that's what the manufacturers would like you to think, but it's not: you can't use real spray-on oven cleaner to take off burned-on crap (you have to use very mild cleansers and scrub baby scrub), you can't take the parts off and soak/dishwash them; ours looks like crap even when it's been cleaned because of crud you just can't ever get off.
Crap seems to burn on more easily, too; like more of the stove surface, where food will hit during a boil-over, gets hot compared to a regular coil stove. Oh, and they scratch. Bottom line: our old coil-burner stove took far less time spent actually scrubbing to ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
