The best thing that I have found for cleaning any burnt pot is a cleaner called "Bar Keepers Friend".  It is out of the States,  but we can get it at Kitchen shops in Canada.  It is out of Indianapolis, Indiana--www.barkeepersfriend.com--1800-433-5818.  It never fails to clean any pot I've ever burnt.

You are not having much luck fundj.  I think most people would use this recipe of Valerie's - check it out, it is a long thread but there is a  lot of input.  That cooking time is 20 mins on 80^o.  My EDC says 90^o.

I use Valerie's recipe making at least 6kg of yoghurt a week.- never had a burnt bowl or a yoghurt failure yet!! It is a winner I have also gone to using the starter from www.cheeselinks.com.au as mine were often into the yoghurt and eating it all without saving me a culture. Now it's not a drama. It is cheap really when you only use 1/10 of a teaspoon per batch.

I have used Valerie's recipe too 1st time was excellent the 2nd time made yummy smoothies.

I only tried "cooking" the milk in the TMX twice, then went back to my standard  method of heating the milk in the microwave.

Both times the milk and subsequently the yogurt had a "vulcanized" flavor that I associate with burnt or scorched milk and I don't like it.

The cleanup was also rather off-putting.  In most applications the bowl and blades are very easy to clean but not with this stuff.

If the milk is straight out of the fridge, 2 liters will be heated to the desired temp (82° C.) in 13-15 minutes if you have a 1100 watt microwave.  1 liter  8-9 minutes. 
Then let it cool to 43-44° C.  That is the optimum temp at which to add the culture and make sure the temperature is the same throughout the milk - there can be hot spots that will kill the culture. 
Use a probe thermometer and stir it through the milk.  An external thermometer is not accurate enough and in my opinion 37° C is a bit too cool for the best culture activity.   The instructions on the yogurt culture I use specifies adding the culture when the milk is between 105 and 115° F.  That equates to  40.56° - 46.11° C.

Ok heres a safe solution to ALL burnt pans, dirty grill trays and pyrex dishes (if you have any). This tip came from my very aged grandmother who still cooked on a solid fuel range right up to the day she died: soak the offending item in hot water with a scoop full of washing powder. Works every time without fail!

Sounds good. What size scoop and soak for how long please?

Overnight normally does the trick and about a tablespoon per litre but does not seem to matter.

Thank you.

I just made yoghurt with the easiyo jug.
I started with 2 litres milk, keeping 1 cup for mixing, add 3/4 cup milk powder, heat to near boiling (small bubbles just coming to the surface).
Cool to 34*c  Heating your milk then cooling before adding yoghurt starter stops that sour flavour.
mix cold milk with 1cup pot set yoghurt.
mix in cooled down milk and pour into easiyo jug. pop into outer jug. pour boiling water, seal and leave for 8 hours.
I then drained my yoghurt overnight in a new chux cloth lined drainer.
best Greek yoghurt you will ever taste. Tastes exactly my favourite local brand Mungalli yoghurt.

I'm a little confused. My easiyo container will only hold 1 litre maximum. Do they make them in larger sizes? I would love to do 2 litres of milk at a time but don't want to buy a second easiyo insulted container.

I tried Mindmapper's grandmother's soaking idea and, unfortunately, it didn't work for me.  I suspect that my result was because the modern powders are possibly less caustic than those used in his grandmother's day.  All was not lost though, all my oven trays got an unexpected scrubbing!

I remember a friend of my mother's used to put a cup of strong ammonia in her oven to clean it - it came up beautifully clean but the fumes were lethal!
