Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZio0f7fP04 'Adam and Jamie did some research on the Leidenfrost effect, in which cool water vaporizing on a very hot surface generates a layer of vapor that temporarily insulates against high temperature. They melted some lead in a crucible and heated it to 700 degrees Fahrenheit, then dipped a raw, wet sausage; it emerged partially cooked and with some particles of lead adhering to it. After they raised the temperature to 850 degrees Fahrenheit, the sausage could be dipped and removed unscathed, since the lead was now hot enough not to solidify on contact. Finally, Adam and Jamie dipped their own fingers into the liquid.'

I disagree with their statement that the "best" way to dispose of the excess is to pour it into a lake though. It's far more fun to pur any excess into a large container that contains some boiling water and washing up liquid - bubble monsters ftw! Liquid Nitrogen is fun stuff.
