The Leidenfrost Effect: "a phenomenon in which a liquid, in near contact with a mass significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer which keeps that liquid from boiling rapidly".

Do NOT try this at home!

I think he was referring to my comment, joking about boiling a man alive.
