Why

Cast iron is prone to rust and the harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher will strip the seasoning, leading to rust and deterioration. Even enameled cast iron lids can have their enamel damaged over time by dishwasher cycles.

How do you wash Cast iron lid?

Hand wash with mild soap and a soft sponge, then dry immediately and rub with a thin layer of oil to maintain seasoning.
