Secura Inc is based in Brookfield, Wisconsin and they are primarily known for small kitchen appliances including coffee makers, coffee grinders, deep fryers, portable cooktops, knife sharpeners, electric kettles, pots, and pans. Many fans of their kitchen appliances who love perfectly formed, evenly baked Belgian waffles and want an easy time cleaning up afterward are probably wondering if Secura makes a flip Belgian waffle maker with removable plates because the removable plates make them easy to clean and the flip feature will spread the batter evenly around the cooking plates so that the waffle is evenly baked and perfectly formed. Luckily, for these people, Secura sells a flip Belgian waffle maker with removable plates and it is their only waffle maker.
The Secura 360 degree rotating round waffle maker with removable plates is the cheapest flip Belgian waffle maker with removable plates. It has a unique feature not found in the other waffle makers currently on the market. I am referring to the 360-degree rotating feature that will help you spread the batter evenly between the two waffle plates so that your waffles are evenly cooked. This means that each morsel of the waffle will be cooked the same way so you won’t have to deal with any raw patches or burnt edges.
Unlike the Cuisinart WAF-300 and Krups GD502 Belgian waffle makers, the Secura 360 Rotating 1-inch thick Belgian waffle maker makes one 7-inch round Belgian waffle at a time while the Cuisinart WAF-300 and Krups GD502 both make four 4.5-inch square-shaped Belgian waffles at a time. Each Belgian waffle is about 1-inch thick. For comparison’s sake, a traditional American-style waffle maker bakes thinner 0.5-inch thick waffles.

One problem with this waffle maker is that it does not come with adjustable browning settings, which is very rare for Belgian waffle makers. It only operates at one temperature. The color and crispiness of your waffle will depend on how long you leave the waffle in the appliance.
Another missing feature is the lack of an audible beep when the appliance is done baking your waffle. Only a green indicator will tell you that your waffle is done baking which usually takes about 4 minutes.

The All Clad Gourmet WD822D51 Belgian waffle maker is the best waffle maker that uses removable plates because of its superior heat distribution and build quality. The Secure 360 rotating waffle maker has a durable stainless steel housing. However, it is not made from the same high quality materials that the All Clad Gourmet WD822D51 Belgian waffle maker is made from. The All Clad Gourmet waffle maker has plates that are much thicker and easier to clean. The plates come with a nonstick Teflon coating that is dishwasher safe and makes it really easy to remove the waffle from the plates. The All Clad Gourmet WD822D51 costs twice as much as the Secura.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of the Belgian waffle this appliance makes?

Are the cooking plates dishwasher safe?
Yes the plates can be cleaned in a dishwasher without causing any damage to them.
No the plates are not reversible. So you will not be able to make pancakes, paninis, or hash browns with them.

Yes it does have a red power indicator light that tells you when the appliance is powered on and preheating to the proper baking temperature.

Yes, like every other Belgian waffle maker, it has a green ready indicator light that tells you when the waffle maker can accept batter and when your waffles are done baking.
Does it come with an audible beep that tells you when your waffles are done?
No it does not have an audible beep that tells you when the appliance is preheated to the proper temperature and ready to accept batter or when it is finished baking your waffles.

How long does it take this device to finish baking your waffles?

Does this appliance come with a cord storage compartment?
No it does not so you won’t be able to wrap the cord neatly around the bottom of the device.

No unfortunately, like most waffle irons priced under $50, it does not come with an On/Off switch. If you want to turn off the device, you will have to pull the plug out of the outlet.
Are there other cooking plates available for making paninis, sandwiches or pancakes?
No Secura does not sell any other cooking plates for this model. You can only make waffles with this appliance.
Hi, I’m Steve Lee and the articles that I write for the Waffle Maker Center website are based on my twenty years of experience making thousands of waffles for me and my family to enjoy. I have extensive knowledge of waffle makers because I own many different Belgian, Classic, Liege, and Bubble Egg waffle makers that use Teflon, Ceramic, or Cast Iron cooking plates. You can learn more about me on Facebook, Reddit, or Quora.
