Guy's Gear

Spice Grinder

"If you like the way a ground spice tastes out of a container," Guy says, "think about how good it will taste if you toast the whole spice, then grind it up!"

Spice and Nut Grinder, $40; cuisinart.com

Pasta Roller & Cutter Set

The Fieri family uses this to make homemade noodles on pasta night.

Squeeze Bottles

Guy decants sauces, oils and vinegars into squeeze bottles—they're a chef's best friend.

Winco 24-Ounce Wide Mouth Squeeze Bottle, $18 for six; amazon.com.

Wok

Guy's friend Jet Tila confirmed: This is the wok to buy. It's great for stir-fries.

Chef's Knife

"I had the Knuckle Sandwich knives built the way I wanted them to be—with properly sized handles, great blades and a rock-star vibe," says Guy.

Steel Tongs

"A tong is the most versatile tool, hands down," says Guy. "It's a grabber-poker-flipper-stirrer and even a mini ladle!"

Breville

Blender

"There's only one blender on the market that really gets the job done, and it's the Vitamix," Guy says. "Take it from me: It's worth every penny."

Guy's Groceries

Hot Sauce

"I put hot sauce on everything," Guy says. "Cholula is a really good, creamy, not-too-thin sauce."

Wonton Wrappers

Guy uses these for his Ahi Won Tacos. He prefers the eggless ones.

This Little Goat

Chili Crunch

This version is made by Guy's pal and fellow Food Network star Stephanie Izard. IT comes in Original, Chili Lime and Spicy Chili. (Find it at thislittlegoat.com.)

Wasabi Powder

This dried form of Japanese horseradish is super versatile. Guy mixes it into mashed potatoes.

Fire-Roasted Tomatoes

Guy keeps these in his pantry for his chicken tikka masala and garden pasta.

Smoked Paprika

The spice adds a smoky, spicy touch to a dish; Guy puts it in his potato salad.

“00” Flour, high-gluten. Caputo.

"00" Flour

When Guy fires up his outdoor pizza oven, he uses this finely ground high-gluten flour to make the crust.

Hawaiian Rolls

"The sandwich always starts with the bread," says Guy. He has a thing for King's Hawaiian sweet rolls.

Agave Nectar

"Agave doesn't have sugar granules that need to cook down," Guy says. "It's just smooth, golden liquid sweetness that's not as cloying or pronounced as honey."

Guy's Look

Sunglasses

These silver shades, a collab with Von Zipper, often end up on the back of Guy's head: "If I tuck sunglasses into my shirt, they'd fall into the food!"
