Pressure cooking may retain more nutrients than boiling due to shorter cooking times and limited water exposure, which helps minimize nutrient loss from oxidation. However, the effectiveness varies depending on the type of food and how stable its nutrients are during cooking. The retention of vitamins and minerals also hinges on whether the cooking liquid is discarded or reused. Researchers emphasize that while pressure cooking can be more efficient, its benefits are not universal across all foods.
