Is this pan really induction compatible?

Yes. Farberware lists the TrueCook Ceramic Plus line as induction-ready, and the aluminum body carries a magnetic base for induction burners. It also works on gas, electric and glass-top ranges.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

Hand washing is the safer choice. Dishwasher detergent and heat wear down ceramic nonstick coatings faster, so most owners who want the pan to last wash it by hand.

What size meals does 3.5 quarts handle?

It fits roughly 4 to 6 servings of stir-fry, pasta sauce or one-pan rice dishes. It is a good size for a couple or a small family.

Is $29.99 a good price?

It is the lowest of the four stores listing it new as of November 7, 2026, and sits at the bottom of its recent range. Waiting is unlikely to save much unless a store runs a deeper promotion.

Does it come with a lid?

Check the listing before buying. Farberware sells this pan both with and without a lid depending on the set, and the $29.99 Target listing should be confirmed for what is included.
