How do i actually use recipes and blueprints?

Title^ I cant figure out what to do with them. Do i just drop them after finding them?

Recipes are just paper guides, attachable on cooking table or supporting structure,
could always craft the dishes ' with or without them '.
Blueprints had changed since the launch, now basically act as a trigger when picked up, adding the research topic to the research table, provided necessary components are already known.

Keep, throw, your choice,
they will reappear where they were once picked up, or from relevant containers, except antenna, receiver and certain crafting tables.

You pick it up, then you hit the "Learn" button in the research table on your raft, with or without the blueprint in your inventory.

You can ditch em immediately after, unless you want other people joining you to be able to make them too.

Recipes can be stuck to the walls. It's nice if you want something colorful in your kitchen.
