Apparatus

An apparatus comprising:

• a container configured to receive a food stuff;
• a base unit comprising a mounting member and a plurality of outer supporting members;
• a weight sensing unit configured to measure a weight of the food stuff contained in the container, the weight sensing unit comprising a plurality of strain gauge load sensors arranged at the mounting member of the base unit;
• and
• a connection assembly comprising a connecting member arranged between the container and the base unit, wherein the connection assembly is configured to provide a flexible and insulating connection between the container and the weight sensing unit so as to counteract thermal strain interference at the weight sensing unit and to reduce heat transfer between the container and the weight sensing unit, the connecting member being configured to flexibly connect the container and the base unit such as to bring a line of gravity of a combined weight of the container and the food stuff received at the container into alignment with a center point of a shape formed by the plurality of strain gauge load sensors, the connection assembly being configured such that the flexible connection provides a bias to guide the line of gravity towards a default position that aligns the line of gravity with the center point.
