As mentioned dont literally cook/boil rock. To kill what is on there, do bleach or acid bath. Word of warning about acid. While it does work and work fast, it can be quite dangerous to work with. So unless you know what you are doing and have all the safety gear, do a bleach bath. Takes a bit longer, but it is much safer and you get same result.
