Pressure cooking may retain more nutrients than boiling due to shorter cooking times and limited exposure to water and oxidation, but its effectiveness varies depending on the type of food and how stable its nutrients are during the process. Unlike boiling, which can leach out water-soluble vitamins, pressure cooking minimizes nutrient loss by sealing food in steam. However, the method’s benefits hinge on whether the cooking liquid is retained or discarded, as some nutrients may still dissolve. Researchers emphasize that no single cooking technique is universally superior, making food selection and preparation key factors in preserving nutritional value.
