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.
