Mermaid roasting tin-dishwasher

I have a mermaid tin I bought from TK maxx, and it said handwash only. It is getting a bit of a sticky oil film on it (despite scrubbing with fairy and an non stick scourer)

Can I put it in the dishwasher? Or will it kill it?

Thanks :)

    Mine go in the dishwasher and they are ok but not the same colour as when they were new. I have about 6 and I can't be bothered hand washing x
