I dont think that would be necessary, Steam is what is really transferring the heat more efficiently to the equipment that is being sterilized. adding a metal basket can potentially reduce efficiency (depending on the material). If your pressure cooker is at 15 psi and at 121 C it will kill pretty much all bacteria...
