What if one of the most powerful tools for saving energy and cooking real food quietly disappeared from our kitchens?
Pressure cookers cut cooking time dramatically and can use up to 50–70% less energy than conventional pots, because they trap steam and cook at a higher temperature with less water. Some studies and test data suggest they can save around half to three-quarters of the energy used by open-vessel cooking for staples like rice, potatoes or beans.
They’re not just fast — they can also be healthy. Because pressure cooking uses less water and much shorter cooking times, many heat-sensitive nutrients survive better than in boiling or frying. Some analyses report nutrient retention of 80–90% with pressure cooking, compared to roughly 50–60% in traditional boiling.
So why do modern ads and influencers push air fryers, microwaves and single-use gadgets… while the humble pressure cooker feels like an old relic?
Is there a deliberate effort to steer people away from durable tools that save energy and make it easier to cook beans, grains and whole foods at home — and toward more electric, disposable and convenience-focused appliances? Or is it just marketing, safety recalls and changing tastes?
In this video, we look at:
How pressure cookers actually work and why they save so much time and energy.
The real health and nutrition story behind pressure cooking.
Safety concerns and big recalls that have damaged their reputation.
Market data that shows whether pressure cookers are really “disappearing” or just evolving into multi-cookers and smart gadgets.
And how all of this can be woven into a “conspiracy to kill the pressure cooker” — even if hard evidence of an organised plot doesn’t exist.
