When a surface is far above the liquid's boiling point and the liquid is dropped onto it, the part of the liquid which first contacts the surface flashes into vapor. The vapor forms a layer under the liquid. The liquid is "shattered" into drops by the force of the suddenly expanding and escaping vapor and by the liquid's surface tension. The vapor is a poor heat conductor which then protects the drops riding on top of it. This is called the "Leidenfrost effect".
