That's what he's doing. He's "cooking" his rock (i.e. extended curing in darkness over several months). He's not literally cooking his rocks...at least I don't think that is what he implies

If you are "cooking" your live rock you should not loose any of the bacteria or pods even. You are basically keeping it in the dark for a few months covered with frequently changed water and circulation. Other than light requiring organisms everything else should live and in fact thrive.
