Has worked for me over the years.
Oddly enough, I've never had to bed pads/rotors before. But after putting these on and they didn't settle down immediately I did a bedding procedure.

I think the theory is to get them to a temp where the pads get so hot that they put a coating on the rotors. The instructions say it may even take two attempts. It didn't work in this instance.

I replaced pads on this vehicle a few years ago. No bedding, no issues.
