The features of a hot and dense gas of quarks that are considered as quasiparticles of a model Hamiltonian with four-fermion interaction are studied. Adapted to the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, this approach allows us to accommodate a phase transition similar to the nuclear liquid-gas one. Arguments are given in favor of the statement that a plausible scenario of (partial) chiral-symmetry restoration (even at zero temperature) in such a system could be a mixed phase of the vacuum and normal baryonic matter. The properties of the transition layer separating the two media in question are also discussed.
