I find chicken liver mild enough not to bother, but stronger tasting meats (lamb liver) will taste less bitter/metallic after an hour in a light salt+milk bath

Also consider the Yes Ladder - in sales, getting someone to say yes to something small makes them more likely to agree to other things.

It also applies to other contexts. If a police suspect refuses to talk, they ask innocuous questions because once someone starts talking, it’s hard to stop.

Admitting incorrectness will make you more likely to concede other points too
