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. Experts suggest that while pressure cooking can be beneficial, its impact on nutrient preservation is not universal across all ingredients.
