is the piercing pin attached to the cooker?

No, it is attached to a cup for measuring the amount of water used for the cooker.

The pin is attached to the measuring cup, and it seems to me that it works very well.

No, it is on the bottom of the cup that you use to measure the amount of water to use. Just turn the cup upside down and you will see it. :-)

No, the removable cooking insert is coated with Teflon. I use mine so much, though, that I'm considering buying the stainless insert- http://www.amazon.com/6-quart-Pressure-Cooker-Stainless-Cooking/dp/B005YZYYE4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364728944&sr=8-1&keywords=Stainless+steel+pressure+cooker+insert PRESSURE COOKER LOVE!

Mine says it is on the bottom aluminum plate which is seamlessly laminated to the stainless-steel body. I am pleased that Fagor is up to pressure in half the time of my old Presto all-stainless cooker.

Yes, it's a standard pin with a pin like a needle and a small clasp to hold it together. Perfect for a suit lapel:)

Depends what cooker you are trying to add it to. An All American cooker you just need a wrench to replace the gauge, if you are trying to add one to a Mirro or other cooker it may require drilling and tapping a hole. I do not know if the other cheaper cookers even have a place on the lid thick enough to put a gauge without weakening the lid excessively.

Yes it has a small nail to put a hole in the eggs. I did learn to hold egg in your hand when piercing. I tried placing egg on counter a putting a hole in it...did not work broke the egg. I love this egg cooker works very good.

No but my pins rusted....along with the heat shield and cooking grate. I've only used mine grill for 6 months or so & keep it covered

It is not marked but it is not flimsy. Beats the Teflon covered inserts. My best pressure cooker so far.

Not that I know of. Don't let the corny motif fool you, this cooker is a nice piece of engineering.

From what I can tell, no. It is a very inexpensive plastic arm with a needle that appears to be permanently fastened.

It isn't mark so on the cooker itself, but it is on the box. I've used the other stove-top cooker (which is also made in Japan) and this one is far better. Much easier to clean and the taiyaki cakes are larger.

Yes, there is. I keep a quick release plate attached to it all of the time.

no. it's a teflon coated finish. this is a nice pressure cooker. just make sure the gasket is in place and the lock is on tight.

Yes, it is! I was really excited to get the replacement because I use my pressure cooker all of the time!

Yes it is! This is the only flaw that we have seen. The cooker works well other than that. Best

Hi Elizabeth! Yes, there is a pin in the back. Careful, it's a bit on the sharp side!

Yes. It's along the lines of this. I--o--I The strap fits on top of the lid of your cooker. There are slits on each end in which another strap with Velcro slips thru and secures the lid before the carrier is closed.
