Yours might but mine doesn't. When I had it on high, the lid was literally
leaping up about 1/4 inch each time the liquid boiled. Most of the liquid
had boiled off after I put it on high. Pretty sure it all would have had I
left them in there for another couple of hours but I was too sleepy and just
gave up on them at that point.
