I had a Co-op one the other day, my first, and it peeled back easily to stir halfway. I've had the type you mention from elsewhere and it leaves a rim of plastic

Not that it matters round here, council does not take the food trays anyway, clean or not, coloured or not, just unwanted along with yoghurt & marge tubs

Thank you. Have now tried Co-op and Iceland. More successful. 

Still so many viewers, so few responders. Why do some peel easily, others are unpeelable  even impossible?  If you have found  an easily peelable brand, please share. Thanks. 

My local  council  will  take almost any thing, glass, card, trays, nearly all plastic etc but commit a sin, by overfilling, bit of non recyclable yuck, bin not left out on the right day, and in the correct postion, and the  bin remains unemptied. You ring up and it goes in with the trash and yuck the following week.

When so much effort has been wasted, many peeps stop bothering and just cover up any sins.

I'm not a ready-meal person so didn't share your pain until I roasted a pan of prepped Mediterranean veg last week. In the end I just cut round the edge with a sharp knife; for 10p I wasn't going to complain.

Thank you. 10p wow.

We tried Iceland  cottage  pie yesterday, guess what, no plastic tray covering.

Contained within a cardboard box that was not air tight.  It was rather yummy with loads of tommy sauce

If you want to get all the plastic off stab it in the middle and pull the plastic towards the sides. If you start too near the edge it just keeps tearing leaving a half inch edge of film.

Is it that important? Just another of life's little annoyances really, - also removing the film completely instead of re-covering has never seems to make any difference - and I do eat quite a lot of ready-meals.

What I find more annoying is the ridged plastic tray/container which means you can't get all the contents out cleanly.

Thanks @GaleSF63 for the info/tip.

Waitrose chilled cottage pie film comes off cleanly.

Please keep the contributions coming.
