    I've tried googling the answer to this but can't find anything that compares the two.

    Cooking identical recipes, for example a stew, on a pressure cooker and on a slow cooker, which one gives a more healthy result in terms of vitamin retention?

    AFAIK pressure cooking is better for vitamin retention although hotter it is for a shorter period of time = less time for the vitamin content to be destroyed.
    I think my pressure cooker had some info on this matter when I got it.

    I kind of thought the same, but then again the lower heat in a slow cooker should be more vitamin friendly, however the length of time cooking may counter act this.
    Think I'll write into a couple of manufacturers and ask.
