Pressure cooking may retain more nutrients in certain foods than boiling by cutting down on cooking time and limiting exposure to water and 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. Scientists emphasize that no single method is universally superior, as nutrient preservation depends on specific food properties and preparation techniques.
