Parmesan PointersWhen a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

I didn't find this as good as the other reviewers. I baked mine for 30 mins so the pork was done, but the bottom crust was soggy because of the butter. I, too, did not taste much of the parmesan. It was very bland. Will not be making this again.

Pretty good. I did have to cook it a bit longer than the recipe stated, though.

You will need to cook this longer then 25 minutes. The butter in the pan was ate up. I had to put more butter in the pan.

AMAZING! I will use this over and over, I also plan to try it on chicken.

I thought these were good, but I couldn't really taste the parmesan cheese. I also had to cook them longer, but this may be my oven. I turned the oven up to get them to brown on top. Pretty good, though.
