Cusimax Smokeless Indoor Grill

Korean BBQ on the kitchen counter with almost no smoke. My most-watched video, and the grill still earns its spot.

Around $80

Pit Boss Austin XL Heat Diffuser

A slotted plate that evens out the hot spots on the Austin XL pellet grill. I tested it with a grate full of tortillas.

Around $40

14-Inch Carbon Steel Wok

The one pan behind every stir-fry on this site. Cheap, light, and it gets hotter than anything else in the kitchen.

Around $40

10-Inch Cast Iron Skillet

Cornbread casserole, deep dish, smash burgers, stroganoff. If it needs a crust, it goes in cast iron.

Around $25

Instant-Read Meat Thermometer

Stop guessing on lobster, steak and fry oil. A two-second readout is the difference between perfect and overcooked.

Around $35

Baking Steel for Home-Oven Pizza

The reason the NY-style pizza on this site has a crisp, leopard-spotted bottom from a regular home oven.

Around $90
