Can I say that I leave for work at 6 am, and I get home at 9 pm. He works too, but not as long. And when the oil needs to be changed, or if there is a flat tire, or whatever, I have no qualms about getting down there and doing it myself. And I do it right, and fast.

Lack of practice; make him keep trying not everyone is good at everything - hopefully he makes up for it in other areas :) Send him off to cookery lessons or maybe buy him a cookery book for xmas, he might get the idea then. To be a good cook, you need to have the interest and desire, obviously he doesn't! Sweetie, he's a man.
Learn to pick your battles.
You cook, let him clean up when you're done. Deal with it, get in the kitchen and fix him what he wants. Thats ur job. no matter how hard you try some people are just retarded in the kitchen!! i have a friend that can burn microwave dinners and has done!! twice to be exact!! i reckon you should go to a couples cookerey class it could be kinda fun !! but maybe your hubby just doesnt have the touch!! if he must just get him o cook rice or something, or a bbq guys always love standing there witha beer in one hand watching pround as their steak turn into an unrecognisable piece or charcoal!! Ask him to cook on the barebcue instead -- it's a point of pride for most men that they know what they're doing around the grill... he's not handicapped, he just wants you do everything. Don't do it for him. He'll learn or starve.
If he starves, next time you shop for a hubby, get one who cooks. Take a weeks vacation and force him to care for himself! He isnt handicapped, he is avoiding showing his expertise in the kitchen because he fears you will MAKE it his dwelling place forever. Advice: tell him you wont make him your kitchen slave, tell him how hot he looks in the kitchen... youll be surprised! The first thing that you need to tell him is that in men there is absolutely no connection between cooking and breast development.Once that problem is solved then you need to tell him that professional kitchens are not only mostly staffed by men but that they are some of the most testosterone fueled macho environments that anybody could possibly work in.
Having firmly established the idea that cooking extremely well is manly ,send him off to a local community college that offers culinary arts programs. . Have him take something like Quantity Prep 101 & 102
Good luck stop doing it FOR him and he'll adapt . . . if he's acting dumb in the kitchen it's because that works for him: he knows if he plays it up, you'll come to his rescue :) Try cooking together to make it fun. And he'll get to see how easy it is. Like "Honey, can you get me a sheet pan? Can you grab the olive oil for me? I need a couple more spoons." Involve him in the process and maybe he'll pick up on it.
When all else fails, make your own dinner and say "Fend for yourself night!" Let him watch you put a meal together.If you use a recipe,then show him that.Then get the recipe out a day before you want to eat it,and tell him this is dinner for tomorrow.You are cooking,then walk away.And do not help him.He will learn.... My husband doesnt cook, thank god for that! cuz i love to eat. and im not eating nothing he cooks. AND I can not fix anything on a car, and he can and i wouldnt drive around in a car i changed the brakes on but i would on one he changed. We are not all good at all things, and some are better and other things. If you can cook then cook, if he washing the car wonderfully then he can wash the car.. etc. give me a break... I mean how hard is it to cook for ya husband? If a tree needed cut down will he make u climb it to cut it down? i think not. Sadly....i dont think there's anything you can do....you see he ultimatly wants you to get in there and make it instead of him...it's their plan... if they mess it up enough they know we will say forget it and take over cuz they are doing it wrong!!!! LOL!!!
