Can stainless pots and pans go into the dishwasher?

A stainless steel vessel can be put in the oven only if its handle won't be damaged by the heat. If the handle is wood or synthetic material, the wise person would't use it in the oven. There isn't a problem with the steel part of the pot or pan. And if a lid is being used, is that lid handle wood or synthetic? If it is, prudence would dictate that it would be better not to stick it in the oven. Bon appétit!
