Sealed plate hobs

What are sealed plate hobs and what advantages do they offer over other types of hobs? Are these available with electric or gas cookers or both?

"This is a pretty rudimentary question to say the least. As far as I'm aware they are electric only. How would a flame be produced in a sealed hob?
Sounds scary!"

"Sealed electric plate hobs work by a heating element being powered by electric. This element is covered by a solid metal plate. This style of hob is slower to heat up as the element heats the solid metal plate first, which in turn heats up the pan and contents above"
