When you cook food in a pressure cooker, undue pressure is exerted on it which drastically reduces the nutritive value. In fact, the food is not cooked, it is broken down. In the Satvic Philosophy, we follow the law of non-violence. A pressure cooker is too violent to the food being cooked in it.

The solution is to simply cook the food in a pot with a lid covering. If you are cooking grains, make sure to soak them for at least 12 hours beforehand.
