No, any container that is closed will develop pressure when heated. The water to steam ratio is ~1603 : 1. This means that 1 cubic centimeter of water expands to about 1603 cubic centimeters of steam. Any container that is tightly closed won't be if it is heated enough as that steam WILL find a way to escape often explosively. It is best to leave a small opening when heating anything.
