  • The mystery to this puzzle is the Leidenfrost effect. When a liquid touches a surface that is much greater than the liquid's boiling point, a vapor layer is produced under the liquid and lifts the liquid slightly from direct contact with the heat source. And thus, that is why you still see water. The water will still evaporate but it would take a much longer time.

  • Humans are 70% water : now touch the pan
