the melting point of tin (the element) is 21.23 º C

Important to note that most "tin" cans are not tin. They are low carbon steel with a very thin, if any, tin plating. I'm not sure where the original answer got the melting point of tin. The actual melting point of tin is 231.93 °C or 449.47 °F. If the can is steel then it will take a much, much higher temperature to melt.
