The invention discloses an electric pressure cooker and a safe uncovering mechanism thereof. The safe uncovering mechanism comprises a cooker cover (8), a fixed cover (1) and a floater (4) as well as a magnetic adsorption part (5) and an electromagnet (7), wherein the fixed cover (1) is arranged in the cooker cover (8), and the floater (4) is arranged on the fixed cover (1) in a floating manner; the magnetic adsorption part (5) is arranged at one end, away from the inside of the electric pressure cooker, of the floater (4); the electromagnet (7) is arranged corresponding to the magnetic adsorption part (5) and fixed on the cooker cover (8). According to the safe uncovering mechanism, uncovering protection is realized by controlling the electromagnet (7), uncovering protection is favorably realized, and uncovering by mistake is prevented; floater floating is facilitated by the magnetic aid, the requirement for the weight accuracy of the floater is lowered, production is facilitated, and the production efficiency is improved; at the initial pressure boosting stage, the floater floats upwards by magnetic force, sealing inside the cooker is guaranteed at the stage, and rapid pressure boosting is facilitated.
