The Leidenfrost point (~220 °C for water) is when the
surface is so hot that a thin vapour film forms instantly beneath a
droplet, insulating it from the pan.
Below this point, droplets spread and evaporate violently (nucleate boiling). Above it, they levitate and can last far longer, gliding and bouncing across the surface.
