With both hands usually meant holding something too big that you need both hands to handle.

"Hold IN your hand" is to close your hand around something (smaller than your hand or just something that fits in your hand).
"Hold WITH your hand" can be for grasping something (clutching your hand around something; it can be bigger than your hand).
