De Buyer Alchimy Loqy Stainless Steel Frying Pan

If you’re unsure whether to choose a frying pan or a paella pan, you won’t have to decide! Because the Alchimy Loqy Stainless Steel Frying Pan by De Buyer can be both. With the innovative Loqy range by De Buyer with interchangeable handles and side handles, you can do everything with a single multi‑layer stainless steel body, simply attaching the handle or the side handles. Perfect for frying, sautéing, roasting or preparing delicious rice dishes, it’s a must‑have in your kitchen.

Like all Alchimy De Buyer pieces, this frying pan features a high‑density multi‑layer design that combines stainless steel with an aluminium core. It provides complete control and even temperature distribution, facilitating cooking and making it much more efficient and sustainable.

Important: This product does not include the Loqy handle or side handles. The collection is designed for you to build your own set so that you can use a single handle with multiple pots and pans. You can purchase the removable handle here, and/or the Loqy side handles here. You can view the entire Loqy collection here.

What is Loqy by De Buyer

Loqy is De Buyer’s most functional and versatile cookware collection. All pieces feature a practical system of removable and interchangeable handles and side handles. The Loqy collection brings together the brand’s essential cookware and turns it into ideal pieces for any use by simply attaching the desired handles:

• The Loqy handle is made from cast stainless steel – robust and durable. Its ergonomic design with a French‑style curve provides an optimal and comfortable grip. The click‑in system is simple and secure, allowing it to be attached with one hand.
• The Loqy side handles are available in two models: beechwood with stainless steel rivets or cast stainless steel. Their clip‑on system makes them very easy to attach and remove. They provide a comfortable, secure grip and are pleasant to the touch.

Both the handle and side handles are compatible with all pieces in the Loqy collection by De Buyer, which includes cookware from four different ranges:

• Alchimy, multi‑layer stainless steel
• Mineral B, iron
• Ceranoa, cast aluminium with ceramic coating
• Choc Extreme, cast aluminium with non‑stick coating

The French brand has redesigned its essentials so that with just one handle and one set of side handles you can have a complete cookware set, choosing the materials you prefer for each occasion and saving the minimum amount of storage space.
