It is advisable to scrub vegetables rather than to peel them. Most nutrients can be found in the skin of the vegetables. To get the most out of your vegetable, you can steam your veggies or put them on a microwave oven rather than boiling them.

The idea that vegetables have most of their nutrients in the skin is
an old wives tale. Everyone says it but there's no definitive proof
of it. If it were true then why not just eat the skin and throw the
rest of the fruit or vegetable away?

Actually there is indeed a higher proportion of nutrients in fruit and
vegetable skin, but if you eat 3/4 cup of peeled carrots you'll ingest
as much nutrient as if you ate 1/2 cup of unpeeled carrots. Of course
if unpeeled carrots are too bitter for you to eat any then of couse
you'll receive more nutrients from peeled carrots because you will
actually eat them. And naturally there are more nutrients available
in fruit and vegetables when eaten raw/unprocessed. The fact to keep
in mind is that the human body is very efficient at storing nutrients
and for a long time... humans are very good at storing vitamins and
minerals, and many of us know how well we store fat. The one nutrient
we don't store well is fiber, therefore it's important to eat raw
fruit and vegetables every day... the more fiber we consume the more
fats we can ingest without weight gain. Chocolate carrot cake is a
good thing. I peel carrots for salad because the skin is indeed
bitter but I see no point in peeling carrots for carrot cake.

Pressure cooker saves the most vitamins

The problem with eating them raw is that you can't digest them as easily
so most vitamins never get absorbed. Cooked vegetables are more
nutritious.

Actually not, those high temps destroy most vitamins

If you chew your food well (even if you don't) your body will absorb
the nutrients it needs. This is a silly discussion anyway... the
healthy human body stores most nutrients for far longer than it needs
between the time folks eat... if you live in the US you will never be
nutrient deficient due to whether your veggies are cooked or not...
just eat your veggies any way you want and you'll be fine... in the US
the problem is not what to eat, the real problem is what not to eat.
Nobody gets obese eating veggies, you can eat all you can swallow and
you won't gain an ounce, in fact the more veggies you eat (any veggies
cooked or raw) the more pounds you will lose. In fact it's not
possible to gain weight eating potatoes and rice, all you want... it's
*only* the fat one adds that makes one obese.

Wrong.

With pressure cookers you cook with less liquid and for a shorter period
thus preserving most vitamins.

This is easily checked up via google.
