Karen, there is another way to make it.

Take the top off the can, then cover the can tightly with aluminum
foil. Put the can into a shallow pan of some kind, and add water to
about half-way up. (This is a "Bain-Marie.") Add a lid.

Stick it in the oven at a temperature low enough that the water
doesn't boil. I'm thinking 225 F might do it.

Leave it there for around 3 hours. Check your water level
occasionally. After the 3 hours, check for doneness, and return to the
oven for longer if necessary.

If you want to get double use from your electricity, do a pot roast at
the same time.

I've never tried this, so I can't vouch for the results. I prefer to
live on the edge and boil the can. :-)
