(We can't blame you there!) Here are the most popular tools you bought this month. We hope you put them to good use!    Extra-Deep Cake Pans Stella relies heavily on these super-deep cake pans by Fat Daddio's. Pick one up for towering cakes that are as impressive as they are delicious.   Tojiro Bread Knifes You can't beat this affordable (and very sharp) bread knife, which will easily slice through everything from ripe tomatoes to crusty sourdough.  The Food of Sichuan Many of you have been shopping for Fuchsia Dunlop's newly released (and revamped) book—and making her classic Sichuan dishes right along with us.   Honing Steels A new year calls for taking better care of your knives, starting with a honing steel to keep those edges sharp.  Cast Iron Pans There's nothing more versatile than a cast iron pan, whether you're searing a big steak or even baking a cake.    Spice Grinders For fresher, more vibrant spices, you've learned that having a spice grinder at home is the way to go.
