Do you put your nonstick pots and pans in the dishwasher?

I hate dishes and pots and pans piled up in the sink and I also hate washing them. Not a great combination. I wash all my pots and pans by hand, because I have in my mind the dishwasher will ruin the nonstick. Is that true? Or, just an old wives tale? They aren’t the cheapy Teflon, I have Analon and Caphalon, so I thought maybe they would hold up ok? I don’t want to wear them out before their time, or cause more of the surface to shed onto my food.
