Test result preview
The burger smasher set from Pukpu is made of food-safe stainless steel and offers a durable and robust solution for preparing burgers, eggs, pancakes and much more. The non-stick coating prevents meat from sticking and enables clean and efficient preparation. The set contains everything you need for a successful barbecue experience: two burger bells, a burger press, moulds for burgers and eggs as well as spatulas and a recipe book.
Particularly practical: almost all parts are dishwasher-safe, only the knife and the parts with wooden handles need to be cleaned by hand. Certified and safe, the set impresses with its versatility in everyday use. There are minor weaknesses in the instructions and when cleaning the burger mould, which leaves a slight residue, but this can be easily removed.

- Durable stainless steel material
- Versatile application possibilities
- Dishwasher safe
- Extensive accessories including recipe book
Disadvantages

The burger smasher set from Pukpu was delivered in a sturdy cardboard box. The box was undamaged and easy to open. All parts of the stainless steel set were individually packed in plastic bags. The product packaging protects the product from damage. Unfortunately, the product packaging is not fully recyclable due to the individual plastic bags.
The 9-piece burger smasher set consists of 2 burger bells, a burger press, a burger mould, an egg mould, 2 spatulas, a salt shaker and a knife. As a gift , there is a small recipe book with various burger recipes. The recipes are written in German and four other languages.
No operating instructions are included, the product is self-explanatory. A small set of instructions would only be helpful for assembling the burger bell handles.
At first glance, the Burger Smasher Set makes a very good impression.

In practical testing, the burger smasher set from Pukpu proved to be very robust and reliable. The burger bells, whose handle consists of several parts, were slightly difficult to assemble. However, once we had worked out how to position the washer correctly, assembly was straightforward. A little guidance on this would make assembly easier, but these minor ambiguities do not affect the overall use.
We were particularly impressed by the stability of the set: Even with intensive use and varying degrees of pressure, the material remained stable and showed no signs of wear.
Small residues occasionally remained on the burger mould , but these were easy to remove. Cleaning the other parts was largely straightforward thanks to the dishwasher-safe design – only the parts with wooden handles should be cleaned by hand.
All moulded burgers in the test were almost identical in shape and thickness, provided the raw mixture was evenly portioned. This speaks in favour of the precision of the set and its suitability for both beginners and advanced users. Despite minor shortcomings in the instructions and cleaning, the set fully fulfils the manufacturer’s expectations. It is ideal for any household looking for a complete, durable and versatile burger set.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €79.90 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €42.95 . The burger smasher stainless steel set from Pukpu is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €49.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
