'not with these in use' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'idly see recipe?' is the wordplay.
'recipe?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'recipe' mean this).
'idly'+'see'='idlysee'
'idlysee' anagrammed gives 'EYELIDS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyelids that I've seen before include "covers for lights?" , "covers for lamps" , "They drop in sleep" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
