Google "cooking live rock" and do a little reading.

Its like pushing the reset button on rock. Over time the rock will fill itself with all kinds of nasty's. Cooking it brings it back from the dead. Cooking rock will not kill the coralline algae. it will turn white, but will come back quite quickly. As for Pods/ worms. The will reproduce like crazy. By the time its done it will be completely full of them. The only thing that will die is the unwanted. Hitchhiker crabs, algae ect.
