Jars, presumably glass ones, can not withstand the pressures that a pressure cooker make. A pressure cooker increases the pressure in the pan, so you need a lower temperature and a shorter time to cook something, but jars burst when the pressure inside and outside the jar differ too much. It's best not to use them together.
