Are Erlenmeyer flasks dishwasher safe?

I use a 1000mL erlenmeyer flask for my yeast starters.  I've been washing it by hand so far but I was wondering if they're dishwasher safe?  Don't know if it matters but its made by Bomex.

 

I think they are warproof. I never dropped my flask, but I dropped my borosilicate double walled pilsner glass and it bounced on concrete, then it got pissed at me because there was no more beer in it.

As far as the temp goes it will take all extremes. I vote go for it!

Oh just remember to rinse it well so no soap stays and sanatize

 

I have ran mine thru the dishwasher probably a dozen times. After it's out I soak in sanitizer just to make sure everythings gone and to get off the soap deposits. I have a smooth top stove so I also have gotten in the habit of sitting the flask directly on the eye to boil my wort starter, throwing it into a sink full of ice and then pitching and never had any problems doing any of this.

 

Oh yeah.
Those things get autoclaved at higher temperatures and pressures than your girly-man dishwasher ever will.

 

Thanks for all the replies.. I figured it'd be OK because I heard of people boiling their starters in the flask but I thought I'd take the "better safe than sorry" route and ask around first.
