My parents like to use a pressure cooker to cook their food. I was wondering if that destroys and cooks out all of the good nutrients?

Cooking for the most part will compromise the nutritional value of foods, but doing so in a pressure cooker contains the steam instead of releasing it, and in the steam will be some of those nutrients. So the pressure cooker is better in this way.
Delicious!
Quite the opposite. Pressure cooking preserves nutrients. It’s boiling veggies and throwing out the liquid that loses most nutrients.
Not really No more than plain cooking
words like destroy “cooks out all’ . . do you hear how radical..
You start destroying nutrients as soon they are harvested but there are SO many nutrients and individuals NEED are so little
many people like you have such a weird notion about nutrients
you do not know how much vitamins or minerals your body NEEDS
you know numbers provided by institutions of zealots..
do you take multivitamins and still eat 3 squares 7 days ???
I give up..!!!
The pressure cooker works by using a closed in environment to transfer steam through food. Because of the closed environment you don’t lose all the vitamins and nutrients that you do with regular cooking.
All cooked food looses some nutrients but some methods help retain more vitamins steaming and pressure cooking.grilling.
