EPISODE 136 THEY DIDN'T USE LEAD
I watched a YouTube short about the episode, it showed how they tested the leidenfrost effect. I think they actually used bismuth not lead. It would make sense, I assume melting that much lead would release harmful fumes. I might be wrong but the reason I think they did is because when they're skimming the surface for slag, it changes colors just like bismuth does.
