Cookware innovator Lucy Maltby 1921 also founded Corning\u2019s famed test kitchen\u2014and ran it for decades<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Joe Wilensky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took a Cornell-educated home economist to turn Corning Glass Works\u2019 pioneering Pyrex cookware<\/a> into a kitchen staple. The products had already been on the market for more than a decade\u2014and sales were stalling\u2014when Lucy Maltby 1921 joined the company and spearheaded Pyrex\u2019s rise as the 20th century\u2019s quintessential cookware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her role in the iconic product was so instrumental, in fact, that when she passed away in 1984, the company\u2019s then-CEO observed that Corning\u2019s cookware success was \u201cdue in no small part to Lucy Maltby\u2019s unswerving adherence to integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maltby, a native of the firm\u2019s hometown of Corning, NY, had worked there in a secretarial role while in high school. She earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in home economics on the Hill followed by a master\u2019s from Iowa State, where she researched the design and use of household and kitchen equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was teaching home ec in Pennsylvania when she wrote to Corning in 1929\u2014telling the company, among other things, that Pyrex was not kitchen-friendly enough.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maltby got a meeting, and opened her discussion with the executives (who, unsurprisingly for the time, were all male) by describing a litany of issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among them: Pyrex\u2019s shapes were impractical; its small handles were difficult to grasp while using oven mitts or potholders; and its sizes didn\u2019t jibe with many popular recipes\u2014or with the era\u2019s small ovens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maltby had come prepared, with an armload of sketches of proposed solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also suggested that Corning use applied home ec research to assess consumer needs, and to make customer feedback the core of its product development efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting had turned into an interview, in which Maltby effectively created her own job. She was immediately hired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Maltby headed up a new home economics division\u2014and within two years had launched Corning\u2019s famed test kitchen, which she would run for more than three decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pyrex\u2019s subsequent reign was largely due to Maltby. An official company history even notes that her consumer instinct was so strong that Corning executives\u2019 first question about a potential product was often simply: \u201cWhat does Lucy think?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps surprisingly, though, Pyrex got its start not in the kitchen, but on the tracks: in the early 1900s, railroad workers found that the glass globes and lenses on their signaling lanterns often shattered when subjected to sudden temperature changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corning experimented with recipes, ultimately developing a borosilicate product, called Nonex, that reduced breakage by 60%. The company also developed it into a new line of laboratory glassware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A staff researcher wondered if it could also make good cookware; his wife had recently complained that an earthenware casserole dish broke after its second use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He brought home the sawed-off bottom of a battery jar, and the sponge cake she baked in it was praised for its uniformity and easy removal from the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further experiments followed: French fries, steaks, and custards were prepared in modified battery jars and lamp chimneys. Reportedly, the final test was the triumphant creation of a baked Alaska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pyrex cookware was introduced in 1915, and by 1920 annual sales topped $3 million\u2014about 25% of Corning\u2019s total. But revenue dropped over the following decade, with the product seen more as a novelty or gift item than a household staple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Maltby wrote her fateful letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was given an office, a secretary, and consumer letters to answer,\u201d she recalled decades later, in an interview for an in-house oral history. \u201cCorning had rather indefinite ideas as to what a home economist could do for the company. I had to be more or less of a self-starter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editors at magazines like Ladies Home Journal<\/em>, Good Housekeeping<\/em>, and McCalls<\/em>, along with cookbook authors, were soon traveling to Corning to see the new test kitchen and Maltby\u2019s research results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was under her direction that product sizes were standardized to better fit in modern ovens and refrigerators, and the now-iconic Pyrex measuring cups were introduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her consumer-first approach meant that large serving dishes could be put in the sink without hitting the faucet, and that slices of bread from Pyrex loaf pans would fit new electric toasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The innovative Flameware line, which could go directly from refrigerator to stovetop, was developed in the 1930s in partnership with Maltby\u2019s test kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also created her division\u2019s field service; its staff visited homemakers nationwide to solicit real-world feedback, appeared on radio and TV, did in-store demonstrations, and chatted up newspaper and magazine editors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pyrex introduced solid colors and patterns at midcentury; over the decades, its more than 150<\/a> designs would reflect the styles and trends of their day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While working at Corning, Maltby earned a doctorate in home economics from Syracuse University and authored her only commercial book, It\u2019s Fun to Cook<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time she retired in 1965, she led a team of three dozen women, and her staff was answering more than 3,000 customer letters a week.<\/p>\n\n\n

Asked by Home Furnishings Daily<\/em> upon her retirement to sum up her most important contribution to Corning, Maltby had a ready answer: \u201cTo look with new eyes on the ever-changing patterns of living.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
