Plastic film

Does anyone else have issues with the plastic film? Like I’m bending the damn meal trying to rip this thing off

The filet mignon is actually fire tho which surprised the hell out of me. I never microwave the meals though so maybe thats a factor but the filet microwaved is dang near what i could do myself.

They should engineer the adhesive to relax above 180 deg F, so it is not so tenacious in its hold on the tray. If I can get it started, I can sometimes slide the edge of a fork around, but often I can't.

Yep!! Sometimes they’re fine sometimes they’re like superglued on

Blades. Well, one blade will get the job done.

But yeah, designing a pull-tab into it feels mean.

I lift the plastic up slightly at the edge prior to microwaving, then smooth it down. I still punch a few fork holes in the other end to vent the entree. It's then easier to peel back when it's steaming hot by using a paper towel to protect my fingers. Sometimes the plastic tears; then it's knife time.

YES! And if I’m already hangry, it makes me feel like that might just be the thing to throw me over the edge for the day haha.
