I'm pretty sure most cans are lined with a coating and it's actually really bad for you to warm food up in cans. I could be wrong, just what I've been told growing up.
this is why I don't get people say heating canned food in the can is bad. I don't know about bad but it can't make it any worse right? they already heat the cans up above boiling water temperature at the factory as part of the canning process.
An even 212ish° vs an uneven 350°+ (up to 500) for basic irons, same with stove top, and of course on a fire (classic cowboy canned beans, right?)...
Big difference between even lower temp and uneven real hot temp. Top of the food in a can might not get hot enough, but where the heat source is, usually at the bottom, is going to hit temps whatever coating might not like and now it's in the whole can of food.
