Tom's right, you have to open the can enough to vent it, otherwise it will explode. There may be a temp you can reach before it blows but i have no idea what it might be and it would vary with the contents of the can, the can's thickness, etc etc. In other words vent the can, it ain't worth taking the chance. When I was in the Navy, years back, we used to do alot of cooking on the steam piping in the engine room. Had one nice opening in the steam throttle valve for the main turbine that was a favorite cooking spot. We had just had a massive clean up campain and freshly painted the space when a new guy decided to heat a big can of pork-n-beans without venting it. The can burst like a over ripe watermellon and blew beans everywhere. I had been on board about 8 months at the time and when I left a year and a few months later we'd still find an occasional dried bean, in some out of the way place, when we'd clean the space. Saw it happen several times other than that with smaller cans but that one was the most spectacular.
