You could pull the sending unit, hang it in some water, heat the water to boil & see what your gauge does. Remember to ground the sender to complete the circuit. You could also check your thermostat this way.

Sounds more like the thermostat is stuck shut OR is the wrong temperature for your climate. It sounds as if your radiator cap is holding and venting to the overflow (?). Leaving it out of the engine though... will eventually lead to overheating.
