Portuguese term or phrase: medidas caseiras
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?

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?
