Does Steam Pressure Cooking Retain More Water-Soluble Vitamins?
Many vitamins such as “B’s” and C” are water-soluble and the simple act of washing them takes away some of the vitamins. Vitamins “D” and “E” are fat-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored and metabolized with the fat in our bodies. Fat-soluble vitamins are not as volatile as water soluble vitamins and are not as readily “cooked away.” Any cooking that minimizes cooking time, temperature, and water will help to preserve nutrients. Pressure cooking under steam, like Steam Cuisine, is one of the best methods because it minimizes time and requires little water.
