Over cooking always happens to kill the nutrients..
Pressure cooking is the healthiest way to preserve the nutrients but sometimes exposing to high temperature may lead to the loss.
Thanks.

Hello user
Using pressure cooker is for our own convenience.
We should use cast iron , stainless steel , ceramic or clay
Things that take time like rajma Chana etc you can use cooker but for daal that cook easily can be done in degchi etc
Chicken n meat can be cooked in open vessel .
