… the pans are likely not “nontoxic” some independent testing and research suggests. Nor are they even “ceramic” – at least not in the way the public broadly thinks of ceramics. Now, regulators are investigating some of the pan sellers’ claims.

Ahhh checking to see if it’s hot enough for the leidenfrost effect is very different that what I was imagining cooking with it would be.
The reason the droplet dances around and doesn’t immediately evaporate is because the layer of steam separates (insulates) the droplet from the pan. The effect can also be used to protect a wetted hand from molten lead.
A hot pan will still cook things, but a hot pan with thin layer of oil will cook most things even faster. That’s why grilled cheeses cook much better with fat than dry.
Science Bitch Yes
Once its ripping hot, a spash of oil goes on and then say, your chicken. What kind of psychopath cooks things dry?
