This is a very good question, because this is not an easy thing to do. Very few school labs have any apparatus which renders this a safe operation. The best thing is to try to design your procedure to avoid having to do it. That said there are some metal tongs with curved arms which are designed to do this, but you have to be sure that their size accurately matches the beaker. Another option is to use insulated gloves as you might in the kitchen, but they do tend to make you clumsy. I always found that a piece of A4 paper, folded twice or three times along its long axis made the best and simplest holder. You bend it round the beaker and match the two loose ends, holding them firmly together.

What is the steps to use a beaker?
A beaker the the fundamental holding device in chemistry labs, at least in the ones I've been in. The use of a beaker is pretty self explanatory, place fluid within beaker, remove by pouring. But there are certain procedures that I've learned in chemistry labs, first, when pouring from a beaker, a stirring rod place on top of the beaker over the lip of the beaker prevents over flowing since the rod guides the fluid while pouring. Another thing is a beaker is never, never used over a Bunsen burner, really really bad idea, beakers are usually heated by hot plates. And of course handle any glass wear with care, and use tongs to handle hot beakers. Clean up with beakers is just basically soap and water, and most beakers can be washed in a dish washer, just don't wash chemistry beakers with the one you use for cookware.
