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 helps minimize nutrient loss in certain foods. However, the benefits also hinge on whether the cooking liquid is retained or discarded, as some nutrients may still dissolve into it. Researchers suggest this method could be a more efficient alternative for preserving key vitamins and minerals in everyday meals.
