I don't know if it's a good idea to leave the lid on the can when boiling. I've been doing this for at least 10 years when making my caramel pie and have never left the lids on. Better to be safe than sorry, remove the lids...makes it easy to stir around to make sure all the milk is cooked properly as well as preventing unwanted pressure building up inside the can with the boiling water.

I agree about the waste of time and energy for this, and I have an alternative. I love this stuff so much I'll eat it right out of the can as dessert in itself. But if I want to heat it, I make two notches in the can and put it on my top oven rack for 20 minutes or so at around 350. I'm not sure if this is a whole lot safer, but it seems to work alright and I just carefully take the thing out with oven mitts.
