As a general statement and typically, no. However, if the only need in the recipe for the cheese ingredient is the flavor of cheese, it might work as a substitute. Usually a recipe calling for cheese cubes instead of shredded cheese,for example, is intending for the cubes to either remain whole and provide texture as well as flavor, add moisture and fat to the recipe which are lacking in the powders, or is intending for the cubes to melt and provide large bits of melted cheese within the dish. In those cases, cheese powder would not work as a substitute.

Can romano cheese be substituted for parmesan?
All three cheeses are eaten as they are sold, or used in cooking. Whether to substitute one for another depends entirely on what you are using the cheese for. If you are making up a cheese platter then you can include any cheese, or variety of cheeses, you want.In cooking it is a different matter. Parmesan and Romano are both very hard, granular cheeses, suited especially to grating and flaking (traditionally, Italian hard cheeses are flaked rather than cut) and can be used in everything from pastry and gnocchi to risotto. Both cheeses are excellent layered with lasagna, or for topping casseroles, pasta and other hot dishes. They are also good in soups, and both cheeses are popularly served on the side, allowing diners to help themselves when adding to their main dish or entree.If layering in dishes to be baked they'd probably be teamed with a type of cheese with a more melting character, such as mozzarella.Mozzarella is a semi-soft cheese and is used in salads and sandwiches, but more commonly is used in cooking foods such as pizza, where its 'stringy' melting quality makes mozzarella a great choice. You can enrich foods such as rice, pasta and potato dishes by mixing mozzarella through while the food is sufficiently hot to melt it.To decide which cheese is best to use, or substitute, in any recipe, read the instructions carefully to assess whether a hard cheese or a soft cheese, or a combination of both, will work best.Any dish that calls for one of the cheeses could probably handle the other (it's not like you'd be putting ketchup on ice cream), but they will surely produce distinctively different tasting dishes.Mozzarella is springy, milky and mild.Parmesan is rigid, salty, and sharp.I'd say, for best results, use both. Many dishes that have one also have the other. They're complementary, not similar.

None that I know of. Since parmesan is a hard cheese, a stiff brush should work. If the grater is made of stainless steel, it should come clean in a dishwasher on the bottom rack. If that fails ... well, then, frankly I'd look for one that is easier to clean!
