I wouldn't think it would explode.They must be heat treated in the canning process.

a rip top lid is the type that you use the rip tab to open instead of a can opener.

I haven't done it but I have heard from people that it works just as well as with a regualr tin as long as you are of course careful to make sure that they can is always covered in boiling water.When topping up the level of water make sure that you always add boiling water and not cold water as they temp change could cause the can to explode.
Otherwise, no problems.
