    You can’t cook with the Leidenfrost effect though… no heat will conduct into the food!

    The point of oils or melted fat when cooking is partially to increase the conduction of heat into the food.

      Im assuming the leidenfrost effect is when you drop water onto the hot pan, and the little watter bubbles just roll around on the surface of the pan, no? That’s how I tell the pan is hot enough to be non stick anyway.

      I’ve uh, the food still cooks my friend.
