So now I have a question.Why would cooking rock,as in putting it in the dark for a couple maybe 3 months be better than dropping 85% of the rock in boiling water,then letting the other 15% reseed the boiled rock.Granted boiled rock will be completely stripped of life.But in the time it takes to "cook" rock the boiled rock will be reseeded.To me they seem about the same provided the 15% isn't full of the nasty stuff you were trying to get rid of.I know some will say that "cooking " will save some of the good critters that are in the rock,that we never see,but I wonder if the rock is so far gone that it needs cooking.who's to say there is anything left alive larger than bacteria?
