I put mine in several containers inside the garage, and every week I would fill four buckets of salt water. Rock was removed from container, vigorously dunked in all four buckets (one at a time) to remove junk and such, then placed into a container with newly mixed salt water. I don't really know where the term "cooking" came from; it's a bit more involved than curing in the dark.
