Freezer question.....does it really matter what container you use to say, freeze chili??? [View all]

A good friend just brought me her husband’s famous chili, and home made rolls. She said “now make sure you use a freezer safe container, not this one”, meaning the one she gave to me with the chili in it. I’m thinking what’s the difference in containers???
