The invention provides a cooking utensil and an upper cover of the cooking utensil. The upper cover of the cooking utensil comprises an upper face cover, a first actuation part, a material discharge cavity door and a second actuation part, wherein the upper face cover is provided with a washing cavity body, and the washing cavity body is provided with a material discharge hole for discharging materials; the first actuation part is arranged on the upper face cover; the material discharge cavity door can cover the material discharge hole, or can translate in a plane vertical to the central axisof the material discharge hole to be separated from the material discharge hole, so that the material discharge hole is open; the second actuation part is fixed on the material discharge cavity door,is used for realizing actuation and fixing with the first actuation part when the material discharge cavity door covers the material discharge hole, and is separated from the first actuation part whenthe material discharge cavity door is separated from the material discharge hole. For the upper cover of the cooking utensil provided by the technical scheme, by utilizing the actuation and fixing ofthe first actuation part and the second actuation part, the stable covering of the material discharge cavity door with the material discharge hole can be guaranteed, and meanwhile, the purposes of reducing driving energy consumption and reducing fatigue damage of a power device are achieved.
