Quince cheese is prepared with quince fruits. The fruit is peeled and cored, and cooked with a teaspoon of water and from 500 to 1000 g sugar [2] per kg of quince pulp, preferably in a pressure cooker, but it can also be left for longer (40 minutes–1 hour) in a regular pot, in this case with a little more water (which will then evaporate).
A food paste is a semi-liquid colloidal suspension, emulsion, or aggregation used in food preparation or eaten directly as a spread. [1] Pastes are often highly spicy or aromatic, are often prepared well in advance of actual usage, and are often made into a preserve for future use.

Alternatively, the salt may be mixed with egg white to form a pliable paste. [4] Baking typically occurs in an oven at around 200 °C (390 °F), with the salt crust acting as a cooking vessel. This slows heat transfer to the food creating a slow and low dry oven, beneficial to most proteins. [5]
The Washington Post reports that most of what we perceive as the taste of meat is actually its aroma, and a combination of the smell of cooking meat, fat and umami is what makes meat so delicious.
Before cooking, the iron atom is in a +2 oxidation state and bound to a dioxygen molecule (O 2), giving raw meat its red color. As meat cooks, the iron atom loses an electron, moving to a +3 oxidation state and coordinating with a water molecule (H 2 O), which causes the meat to turn brown.
