Does cooking your food in a Pressure cooker destroy the nutirents?

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?

Quite the opposite. Pressure cooking preserves nutrients. It's boiling veggies and throwing out the liquid that loses most 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!
