In the inside of a lid for opening or shutting an upper portion of a cylindrical inner frame containing a desired quantity of water and rice to be cooked, an auxiliary steam pressure exhausting device is disposed between a handle of the lid and a weight of the lid. An exhaust button of the auxiliary steam pressure exhausting device is slideably disposed in a first opening which is formed through a center of the handle. A supporting member for elastically supporting the exhaust button is disposed in the exhaust button. A pressing member extending from one side of the exhaust button in the horizontal direction presses down a compressible portion of a lever for forcibly opening the weight by receiving the driving force from the exhaust button. The lever is fixed to a side wall of the lid. The lever can rotate by a certain angle about a pivot which is disposed to a middle portion of the lever. A second extending portion of the lever tilts the weight during the rotation of the lever. The second extending portion is exposed to the outside of the steam pressure rice cooker through a second opening which is formed through an upper wall of the lid.
