Which cooking method is the healthiest?

Pressure cooking is considered the healthiest cooking method. Cooking in a pressure cooker saves cooking time and maintains high nutritional values of antioxidants. Best meets all 4 criteria. (About the taste of food is a question of personal preference.)

Healthy cookery criteria:
1 Preserve as much of the nutrients as possible.
2 Kill pathogens that might reside in the food.
3 Enable ease of chewing and, therefore, ease of digestion.
4 Allow toxins to drip from fatty foods, especially meat fat.

Dry heat Cookery:
Baking, steaming, grilling, and roasting.

Moist Heat Cookery:
Boiling, Stewing, And Frying. (Including shallow and deep), Barbequing, Basting.

Frying has a bad reputation for several reasons:
Frying requires fats or oils. Many people think they will get fat from eating fried food.
Saturated fats (like butter and coconut oil) are mistakenly considered unhealthy.
Heating oil and fat to high temperatures can hydrogenate them, which is toxic.
Shallow frying (especially if ingredients are cut into small pieces - like in Chinese cuisine) enables speedy cooking, minimizing heat damage to nutrients.
