1. A mandolin slicer kit assembly comprising:
a main body having two opposite side panels; a cutting blade mounted on the main body; a slicing plate carrier mounted between the two side panels of the main body; a plurality of slicing plates of different types, each of the slicing plates having a plurality of slicing teeth mounted on a top surface thereof and at least one recess formed on a bottom surface thereof; an adapter plate having a leading portion, wherein said leading portion has at least one elastic rib for detachable engagement with the at least one recess of one of the plurality of slicing plates to form a slicing plate assembly, and said assembly is detachably mounted on the slicing plate carrier; a slicing plate holder separate from all of the main body, the cutting blade, the slicing plate carrier and the adapter plate, said slicing plate holder having a plurality of receiving spaces for accommodating the plurality of slicing plates when they are detached from the adapter plate, said sliding plate holder being provided as a multilayer structure; and a mechanism provided in the slicing plate holder for releasing one of the slicing plates from the respective receiving space onto the adapter plate for the engagement so as to form the slicing plate assembly to be mounted on the slicing plate carrier, whereby the mechanism in the slicing plate holder comprises: a spring means with one end fixed to a bottom of the multilayer structure; a post extending through all layers of the multilayer structure and having an end portion fixed to the other end of the spring means; and a plurality of hook members extending laterally from the post each engagable with a lateral member formed on a bottom surface of the respective slicing plate; wherein application of a pressure to the other end of the post enables the hook members to move downward so as to disengage the hook members from the slicing plates to release the slicing plates.
