Portuguese term

medidas caseiras

Portuguese to English Medical Nutrition
Os registros foram realizados em medidas caseiras e convertidos para gramas, para fins de análise.

Medidas caseiras são aquelas usadas na cozinha, como colher, copo, xícara etc. Por exemplo, 2 colheres de açúcar equivalem a 50 gramas. Existe algum termo consagrado pra isso? Cooking units? Alguma outra coisa?
Proposed translations (English)
4 +3 cooking measures
5 +4 home cooking measurements
5 domestic units OR Home Units

Carla Queiro (X) Feb 25, 2007:
Hey, the answer was so close that I didn´t think it was worthwhile to post another answer. The objective is that the asker gets the correct answer.
Marina FS Feb 24, 2007:
Obrigada então Luiza e bom fim de semana
Luiza Modesto (asker) Feb 24, 2007:
Não esquenta a cabeça Cadmio, acho que nem tem como fazer isso. O certo seria ela ter feito uma resposta com o termo "measurements" mas como ela não fez.... :)
Marina FS Feb 24, 2007:
Luiza, naturalmente penso que os pontos devem ser atribuídos à Carla se o termo é measurements e não measures porque não fui eu que sugeri o correcto. Se souber como o fazer agradeço que o faça ou que me diga como devo proceder. Obrigada

Peer comment(s):
agree Muriel Vasconcellos : "cooking measurements" (93,000 refs) is 10 x more common than "cooking measures" (9,000 refs), but "home'' has a foreign flavor to it, witness the fact that the collocation doesn't show up. Terminology theory says first use what people are already using.

Tks, Muriel, I think that the "home" helps to identify the kind of measurements used and also is more faithful to the original "caseiras". I am still thinking about your statement, but I wonder how many refs "home cooking" gets! How are your cute Bichons?
