The Leidenfrost effect occurs when a liquid comes into contact with a surface much hotter than its boiling point. A layer of insulating vapor is instantly produced at the bottom of the droplet, which lifts it off the surface and dramatically slows down heat transfer, allowing the droplet to skitter around for some time.
