Pans can be put into a dishwasher as long as the pan is not a non stick pan.

If your pan is the non stick pan type then those non stick pans should not be placed in the dishwasher.

Putting non stick pans in your dishwasher can damage the non stick surface as the water spray and detergent can wash away parts of the non stick pan surface.

But if you have regular pots and pans that don't have the non stick surface then those types of pots and pans can be put into the dishwasher.

Non stick pans should be washed by hand with just a sponge or washcloth and never use a scrub brush on non stick pans if you can help it.

A scrub brush could ruin the non stick surface of the non stick pan if you scrub too hard.
